No need to be scared,relax.
The two most important factors for good lactation are a very good, healthy balanced diet by you and regular suckling by your baby, which is not possible here,I guess.
Also,a mentally relaxed state of mind is mandatory,as stress decreases milk output.
So try to be calm,take a good diet,express your milk every 2 hours,give that to the baby first,and then top formula,if needed.
