Breastfeeding complications

Marsha

Hey everyone. I am a FTM and I had my baby 2 weeks ago (4/29) (c-section) I have been breastfeeding since day one, but he lost 8% body weight within the first 2 days so I have been substituting with formula since I have been home and he already gained all the weight back. My supply in Breastfeeding has not been successful. My left breast which is the one he mainly nurses on, produces roughly .5-1oz every 3 hours, but my right breast I only get 2-5 drops...

2 days ago I was able to get .5 oz from my right side but now 2 days later, it’s almost close to nothing.

I’m so upset and frustrated and I really just don’t know what to do anymore with my right side. I try to nurse with him on the right side but he gets soo angry and frustrated and starts screaming every time he latched because I would assume no milk is coming out.

When I switch sides, he latches and is perfectly fine.

I have been drinking Gatorade, water, lactation milk, lactation supplement, warm compresses, and using a lactation massager.. I haven’t been consistent the past couple days with the warm compress, because it’s truly just overwhelming with no results..

I truly need advice and help from someone who had similar issues. Did it get fixed? What was the outcome? What was the issue? How long did it take to get on track? Or did one boob just not produce milk?

My son has a big appetite and is at 2-3 oz every 2-3 hours. I need this supply to increase fast!!!
