Breastfeeding tips??

Question

Hey mamas 👋🏼
My son is exactly a week old today and I’m not sure If my supply is good. I been pumping but only get an 1oz or 2 if I’m really lucky. Is that normal ?? I was going to try lactation cookies because I want to be able to pump enough for a bottle or 2 for when his dad would like to help me out if I’m too tired. Any tips or is it normal this early on??

Answer

Your breast provide enough milk for baby. At 1 week old that’s how much Abby is suppose to eat per feeding. As you continue to pump and breastfeed your supply will increase. Drink lots of water and pump or breastfeed every 2 hours

Answer

Pumping is not an accurate indicator of how much your actually producing 🙂 a baby can get more out of your breast then a pump can

Answer

Is this in addition to feeding at the breast? It is the right amount of oz at this stage.

Answer

I was having an supply issue and I started to take liquid gold from legendary milk and it seemed to really help my milk supply. I actually had to stop taking it because my let down became too heavy for my baby. Also drink lots of water!

Answer

That’s normal for one week out.  Keep pumping and nursing and your supply should steadily increase.  By all means you can try lactation cookies or mother’s milk tea to help boost supply
