Well, in the begining the tech points really do take a while.

I assume if you've got a nursing mother you've taken care of your food supply?

Maybe now that your doctor is a master, you can have her working on research as well, to hurry things up. The only way make the tech points gather faster is
a) put more people at the table or
b) buy the science upgrade with your techpoints, then they will gather quicker.
