milk supply

My son is a week old and for the past two days it was hard for me.to latch him cuz my nipples.got.really sore and cracked and bled. So I finally got a pump today to get all my milk out and now it looks like I wont be making as much milk. Is there anything I can take to increase my milk supply?? Any recommendations would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

There are lots of foods that help with milk supply if you google it you can find long lists of foods that help. Some stores sell special bars and snacks that help. Also for the cracked nipples i reccomend gettig some good nipple cream.
