My baby boy was born at 29+1 and is currently in neonatal. I am expressing milk for him as he's been feb through a tube. My concern in I am not producing enough milk. I have tried every 2-3 hours and only get 20/30ml from both sides in total. Tried expressing every 4hours and I am getting between 70 and 80ml in total from both sides, this amount has stayed the same for the past couple of weeks. My baby will be 4weeks old this week and in a couple of weeks they want me to try and breastfeed him before he can come home. I'm worried I won't produce enough milk to breastfeed him as the amount is just staying the same. Spoke to people at the hospital and they just said to do it every 2/3 hours but when I do that I am getting less :( any advice please
