Are you breastfeeding and struggling with low milk supply?

Hi there, I just want to share that breastfeeding is one of the best things you can do for a baby who is premature. You are doing a wonderful thing for giving your baby your best! Here are some strategies we recommend in such a case: - Within 6 hours of birth, kickstart breastfeeding by breast / nipple stimulation and hand expression to remove colostrum from your breasts. - Continue to remove milk from your breasts regularly, either through hand expression or pumping, to build and maintain your milk supply - Double pumping helps with building your milk supply - Hand expression before and after pumping signals to your body to make more milk - Use a hospital grade pump and check that your flange fit is right Having lots of skin-to-skin interactions with your baby, as well as Kangaroo care, help with building your milk supply too!
