What have you been doing up until now - expressing? Formula? Totally possible but it may be tough going.

If you managed to get some milk even a little that's good news. It will take hours of work and it may take a month or so to get the amount your baby needs. I heard a mixture of letting baby feed and expressing in between to keep
supply up helps. You can also visit breastfeeding clinics that can offer you lots of advice and support. Good luck! Thanks
