My baby is 1.5 months old. While breast feeding for first 5-6 min when fast milk comes he takes it very well but as supply becomes slow he gets panic. Is that mean i have low milk supply? Or what would be the reason?

That’s a normal thing. For adequacy of breastmilk, look for urine output and weight gain. If baby is passing urine 7-10 times in 24 hours and has gained minimum of 800 GMs - 1000 GMs from birth, then breastmilk is adequate and nothing required. If not so then visit your pediatrician.
