New mum here!!
Hi all,
I gave birth to my darling daughter on the 18th February and she has been in intensive care for the past 3 days so I have been pumping.
Can you please recommend how to increase supply? I am currently double pumping getting 80ml approximately every 3 hours but want to have as much backup milk as possible!!
Thank you :)

When my baby boy was in NICU it really helped to be there with him while I pumped, or listen to/watch videos of him when I was at home! I think you’re doing everything right by making sure you still pump every 3 hours. Hugs ❤️❤️
80ml is a good amount for her age. The amount will slowly increase with time, I used to pumps every 1.5-2h when my boy was a newborn.
You can try power pumping as well as what everyone has said, but it’s still early days - my supply suddenly increased massively at around the 10 -12 day mark. I did power pump a few times, but mostly just stayed hydrated and ate plenty of oats. Hope your little girl is better soon ❤️
