It will be difficult and you may never get a full supply to be able to give breastmilk only but there are things you can try. You could maybe try a supplemental nursing system so you can BF and give the supplement at the same time. This may work if the reason that the baby won't take the breast is that she is looking for the instant gratification of the bottle, or that there isn't enough milk to satisfy her and she is frustrated. Medela sells one . Motillium is a drug used to increase mik supply. If a woman can adopt and breastfeed who has never even been pregnant, it is possible but it will be hard. You will likely need to pump a lot too. Every feed each side 15-20 minutes with a hospital grade electric pump.
