Can I still get milk?

You can make your supply come back. First of all, I'd see a lactation consultant as it isn't easy and she could help you far more than anyone else. Second, whenever your baby wants to eat, place him at your first. He may not get enough right away and you'll have to continue supplementation, but in the meantime it will stimulate lactation. Third, pump between feedings and, if you're still giving bottles, during to get your milk flowing. Lastly, you may need a prescription for Reglan or you may need to take fenugreek to help out. Good luck, and like I said, lactation consultant firstly because you may be able to do things differently.
