Why does my milk leak out on its own?

Patient's question:

Why does my milk leak out on its own?

Doctor's answer:

I have had a cesarean section for over fifty days now. My milk production throughout the day is not enough for my daughter to have one meal (I have used a breast pump, but only get about 60 milliliters a day). However, when my breasts are slightly full, milk will leak on its own. For example, when I sleep, milk leaks onto my clothes, and the milk squeezed out is quite clear, like water, unlike others which is much thicker.
I asked the doctor, is there any way to prevent milk from leaking and to increase milk supply? (I have eaten a lot of pig trotters and daylilies, but they haven’t been very effective.)
