@mommytok, thank you this helps..I will also see if it possible for me to try to get him to latch..

@azhacakes, oh I’m sorry I didn’t realize! I’m definitely not an expert but here’s what I would do.. If you haven’t been nursing at all, I would start with nipple stimulation legit with your hand because I feel like it might hurt going straight to pumping with a minimal supply, then after awhile I’d just start pumping every 3 ish hours. Definitely drink a ton of water and eat well. If you have videos of your baby watch them while pumping or if you can even visit and pump in the NICU do that for sure!

@mommytok, I can’t put baby to breast right now because he is in the nicu and I’m not able to be up there everyday..would it work if I pumped maybe every 2 hours?

I did 🙋🏽‍♀️ I EBF for a month, then fell for the doctor insisting I supplement with formula (hindsight 20/20 I wish I didn’t) and when I noticed she was favoriting bottles around 3 months I went back to breastfeeding mainly. I literally just walked around shirtless with her on my boob constantly. Drank TONS of water, ate good meals and lots of snacks. I did drink Mother’s milk tea and eat lots of oatmeal, but I’m not positive how much that influenced my supply.
