Milk supply help. FTM & struggling
Hi all, FTM here and honestly just starting to really struggle. I have a beautiful 6 day old baby boy and I just feel like I’m failing him. I want to be able to nurse on demand but my supply is making that near impossible. I don’t know what I’m doing and how to make things better. I’ve been pumping every 2-2.5 hours and each session (from both breasts total) I’m only able to get 15ml of milk. When I try to nurse him for a nap, he stays on each breast around 15mins each to then wake half hour later acting hungry still. So I then resort to supplementing with formula, which I also know nothing about because I don’t know how much (or little) he got from me, so I don’t know how much to supplement with.
I’m just feeling at a loss and like I can’t even feed my own baby properly. Please lend your advice.
