Re-feeding effort : You don't need to pump out the "old" as there is no "use by date " on breast milk. It is fresh as it exits the breast. Just try feeding every 2 hrs for 5 min/side to re-establish. Find a local feeding coach if you can to assist. With some luck and a lot of work you can be successful.
