I’m a FTM and my plan was to breastfeed my baby. But, when he arrived I tried to breastfeed him but I found out that I have a “rusty pipe Syndrome” so there was no milk and blood coming out of my breast. I’m not going to lie, I was really disappointed, frustrated with my body, and made me not want to try to breastfeed of pump.

Until couple of days later I started to feel even worse, I was feeling like I’m not a good mom, not trying hard enough for my baby.

So now I try to pump every 2-3 hours, 3-5 times a day. But I only get 15-40ML!! My baby is two weeks old now, so 15-40ML is obviously not enough and I have to give him formula with whatever I pump.

How can I increase my supply? Any advice is VERY appreciated!! I really want him to have my milk and be able to pump successfully.
