Of course, as always, before starting taking any herb or medication, consult your doctor. Fenugreek is one herb that increases milk supply. Blessed Thistle is another. They can be found at health food stores and other stores that carry herbal supplements. Once your baby is ready to actually nurse from the breast, the learning process begins all over again, for both of you.
Premature babies are often small, and they can have a hard time at first.
A nursing pillow is a wonderful thing to have. It fits on your lap, with the baby resting on it. Holding the baby close, the baby needs to open its mouth wide, so that it takes in the entire areola of the nipple and as much of the surrounding tissue as possible. You will be able to hear the baby as he or she takes in the milk and swallows it. Proper latching on ensures that you don't experience severe nipple pain.
