Help Please
Due to my LO being in the NICU for the first week and a half of her life, my milk supply has been low. I pumped during that time to try to catch up. She is now 6 weeks and I have had to suppliment for her whole life due to not having enough milk. Part of it is that they supplimented in the NICU to get her weight up, but then I have been bf and my supply doesn't seem to be enough. I tried the fenugreek but that didn't seem to help although I am still taking it. I am back at work, and pumping two to three times there, but still the most I get is an ounce to two ounces.
I haven't done this before, and feel like there should be something I can do to at least cut back on the formula. Isn't this suppsed to be an instinct? Having a stock of breastmilk in the freezer is a dream at this point.

I did try the tea, and I am not sure it made a difference. I have had a hospital grade pump the whole time due to her being in the NICU. I rented it and just kept it after she was out. Pictures do seem to help. Although I don't ever feel the milk let down, and have never leaked.
I will try the one hour session for sure! I have been looking online and some people said oatmeal? I'll try that one tonight, hope my other dd and my dh don't mind it for dinner.
