Lower milk supply during feeding

Question

Asked for Female, 30 Years

This is my 2nd child and I'm suffering from lower milk production during feeding. My baby is not satisfied with me. He sleeps during feeding and wakes up if he is put down. Plz help me with some medication or should I opt for mix feeding (formula+breastfeed)
