A. If you have good amount of milk and you are pumping then it is going to enhance the milk because you have a good amount and the more you express the body gets signal that you need more but you have to teach her child to directly latch on the breast you can use a nipple shield or take a help of lactation specialist because actually expressing is very exhausting
