Supply typically comes in around 2-3 days and baby will have enough reserves to tide through that period. It is also their demand for milk that will stimulate your milk production. So latching and latching is definitely the way to go. Have lots of fluids, red date tea, water(if possible), soups and lots and lots of skin contact with baby. It is very common for newborns to have jaundice. When that happens, baby may keep sleeping and may not suckle at your breast. So be prepared to pump every 2 hourly to stimulate your milk production if baby is not helping out. And no, Fenugreek and nursing tea cannot be taken during pregnancy. It is stated on the packaging. Only after birth dear. :)
