How old are the babies? You might need to syringe water to her. if she is dehydrated she will definitely lose her milk.

does she look full around the nipples when it is time to nurse?
Do the babies gain weight and look full after nursing?
can you express any milk with your fingers?

Looking at the babies eand weighing them is a good indicator if they are getting enough to eat. Their bellies should look like fat toads after eating.

If she is not producing, you need to have her checked for an infection.
