breast feeding question

Hello ladies! I have a beautiful 3 week old baby girl! I am breastfeeding and so far so good :) with my first child I didn't even make it a week and a half breastfeeding and was devastated.  This time around so far everything is going well. I am breastfeeding directly and also pumping and storing for when I'm in school. I am hoping i can breastfeed atleast 6 months but hoping for a year! I am getting worried that I am going to run out of milk. Any tips on keeping the milk coming in good? I heard if you eat oatmeal that helps? But how much and how often? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! :)

Is the tea good? I'm not really a tea drinker a lot of tea does not go with my taste buds lol! But I'm willing to try anything to keep it coming in strong so I no I can store enough for when I'm in school and at work lol (I'm in nursing school and clinicals are 8 hours just like work)

That's what I need to do more of is drink water! While pregnant I drank so much water now not so much :/ been craving pop ugh

The more you breastfeed the more milk you will produce, i took a breastfeeding class and they said to drink alot of water helps!!

Thank you! When I'm home I only nurse no bottle feedings and then I also pump. So as long as I keep this up I should be good to go? Hopefully! And I will look up the recipe I want to do this as long as I can for my baby girl♡

The more she nurses the more you will make.  Its supply and demand. But they have tea to help keep your supply up. Also you can make these cookies that also help. You would have to look it up, I don't have the recipe :/
