So...it barely helped but it did help some. I tried to hand express just a lil before pumping. I still didnt get out alot but i got out more than i have in the last 3 pumpings with the combination of both.

Babies don't take much in when they're first born. Also it takes a few days for your milk to come in no matter when you delivered. It took 3 days for my milk to come in. I delivered my daughter at 38+6.

Your milk comes in when your placenta is delivered, I had a preemie too. My milk took a bit to come in but when you can, holding her and smelling her and stimulating while looking at her is best. She doesn't even need that much right now and when she gets on breast she'll draw out more than a pump or hand could.

@jasholbert the problem is im not even producing an oz. Im lucky if im producing a ml each time. Shes a premi so my body was almost ready to produce milk but since it didnt get the full time to prepare im having to stimulate and bring my own milk in little by little.
My breast are heavy and full with milk but when I squeeze nothing comes out and when I try to pump nothing is pumped into the breast pump its like I have milk but its stuck and wont come out...any tips or help on this.. i really would like to breastfeed my daughter....
Breast pump covered by insurance I've already done what I needed to find out what type of pump I get covered through insurance. It turns out, with my insurance, I can't even get my pump shipped to me until I call them with all the birth details of my baby. So...wth am I supposed to do having a baby and no pump?! I plan to pump exclusively and this REALLY throws a wrench in my plans.
Breastfeeding moms: so I am planning on going on a 3 day vacation with my hubby & a bunch of friends to Catalina in May, (my baby won't be going with us) and I do not wanna be pumping and dumping every 2 hours out there.. so if I don't pump or breastfeed for 3-4 days, will my milk supply drop significantly? 😩😩 & I don't know how I'm gonna deal with the engorgement pain if I can't find time to pump out there.

Science! My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
