Hi,

Being upset would hamper breast milk secretion.please be positive. Whenever you are feeling the babtit expressing milk for your baby in nicu, think of the baby. visualize it growing well with the milk,your love for baby would i trade breast milk. You should have a good nutritious diet with sufficient calories, vitamins, calcium, iron & proteins. Drink a cup of milk while feeding the baby. Be comfortable & happy while feeding. Continue with lactate, it would help you out with your own efforts as described before.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
