Speak with NCT in the UK, La leche league also.

Feed on demand always. Could be 10 - 12 hours a day...

Increase your fluid intake and rest. Improve your own nutrition

Don't think about housework or chores. Don't consider working on anything but feeding.

Get advice on latching on.

Drink more than you'd usually do. Keep resting whenever you can. Keep feeding often, the more a baby suckles, the more milk your body produces
