breast feeding question

[guessBaby]

My baby girl is in the nicu and I'm trying to pump for her but my supply doesn't seem to be picking up...what are some things I can do or take to help my milk come in

The most important thing is to not give up ! (:

Steel cut oats. Like 2-3 bowls a day. Plus pump every 2 hours. And for 5 min after your milk stops. You should have 2-3 let downs per pumping session. Don't stop after only 1. Lots of water of course and keep your calories up.

I've heard oatmeal helps you lactate. Good luck and good choice :)

Thank you (:

Rolled oats. Flaxseed. Brewers yeast. Go online and look up lactation cookie and smoothie recipes. Also join a breastfeeding group on Facebook if you have one and they can help you out more ;)
