My baby takes 1 hr feeds and asked for more in every half an hour - Health and Fitness

My baby takes 1 hr feeds and asked for more in every half an hour. Am I not making enough milk for him?

History:

He was in NICU after c-section birth and was given box milk for 2 weeks, he took time to learn taking direct breast feed so direct as well as top-up feeds were given in every 2 hours.

He is almost 2 months now. In attempt to make him take more of mother's milk we have reduced his top-up feeds to 3 a day.
Please help. Don't want my baby to go hungry...
