(breast) milk insufficiency
you really ought to provide more context. In the meantime I can only assume that you're referring to milk insufficiency in breastfeeding.

lactogensis
specifcally lactogensis II because at its first stage is is only the colostrum.
As some of our colleagues have pointed out: in Portugal it is the opposite of descida-it's subida.
Good luck

milk coming in
As a mother of three, I know my fair share about this subject! :)In common language, we say "milk coming in". I am not sure how technical a translation you are working on. If you are looking for the technical term for it, then Susy's answer above of "LACTOGENESIS" is the correct medical term.
Example sentence:
My milk took four days to come in after giving birth.
How long did it take for your milk to come in?
