Can engage IBCLC to correct the latch if you don’t like the idea of pumping.

Some things you can try: Try to offer baby the boob again. I didn’t have a successful latch until when she was 2 weeks when I tried again. I followed YouTube videos to learn how to latch 😅 Drink lots of water or soups through out the day, especially the period before, during and after pumping. Sunflower Lecithin (I’m using LegendairyMilk) Milk boosters (Also from Legendairy milk, I tried this before buying the big size. https://shopee.sg/product/250981465/7834292376?smtt=0.18947-1660270737.9 ) Power pumping once a day Pump every 2.5-3 hourly (20mins, max 30). Don’t drag pumps, don’t skip pump/latch. DON’T STRESS (this is the biggest milk killer). If not enough, just do mix feeding while you build up your supply. Don’t look at the bottle while pumping as well. Fighting! 💪🏻🥹
