How do I build up my supply?

Hi. I'm a first time Momma. I'm 100% breastfeeding my baby. However, I return to work in less than a month and I don't have any milk stored up. How do I build up my supply in order to pump BM to have a supply at home and to send to the sitters?

    You really only need enough stored for the first days milk assuming that when you pump at work you'll produce enough for the next day. I started pumping after the first feed in the morning. You're body will adjust if you keep doing this bc it will think you need more milk. If you stick with it you should see your supply increase or at least I did. If you only get a couple oz don't get discouraged bc it'll add up.
