Nursing ?'s: Unfortunately, there is no certain way to increase breast milk production. There are many substitutes which will provide adequate nutrition for your infant son, who will quickly become accustomed to formula.

Galactogogues: Get on your computer and research the word "galactogogues". These are substances, mainly natural or herbal, that will stimulate milk production. You should also be drinking at least 3 liters of fluids daily. Pump after every time you nurse to increase stimulation to the breast. If available where you live, contact a lactation specialist may be very useful.Call hospital where baby born for referral
