Answer

Make sure you're eating healthy and getting enough calories. Drink lots of water and pump as often as possible. Pumping more often will increase your supply more so than anything else.

Answer

Pump pump and pump some more. Every 2 hours around the clock. I'd honestly stay away from herbs, they can kill your supply for some people and it's really not worth the risk in my opinion especially this early on. Good luck!

Answer

Take fenugreek and blessed thistle 3 capsules each 3x a day. Drink lots of water, make sure you're eating 3 solid meals a day and at least two snacks. Have oatmeal for breakfast with real oats or put them in a smoothie with flaxseed. You can try power pumping to simulate a newborn cluster feeding and I would pump every 1.5-2 hours. Make sure you're getting some sleep and try not to stress but I know it's hard having baby's in the nicu. You're doing great mama! Also, I know this might be a tough question but are you able to do skin to skin with them? This is great for your babies but also for your stress levels and milk production. I wish you and your babies all the best!
