Having a preterm baby and managing it is a challenge for a mother . Kudos of being a warrior. Whatever Dr Singh suggested is correct. I just wanna add one thing. The state of mind of a mother is a very important thing. Your mood affects your milk production. So you be in a good mood . Try watching funny and inspirational videos on YouTube. And always think positive that the milk will definitely come .
Next Steps
As sir suggested drink good amount of milk and if nothing works out start the preterm milk formula @30 ml every two hourly

You take enough rest Take Nutritious food, juices, milk with Lactare granules 2tsf, better don’t add formula, if still you want to use 1 scoop with 30ml water every 2 hour if breast feed not available, use one Breast at a time , it will further improve breast milk production
