Breast pumping help!!
Ftm here. I gave birth to my baby girl 4 days ago. Shortly after delivery I put my baby to breast and started to try to breast feed. After rough First night where she kept crying and crying when I would put her to breast every hour I had to supplement with formula. When I was able to see a Lactation consultant she tried to express both nipples by hand to see if I was able to get any colostrum out and I simply wasn’t producing anything. Fast forward a few days, I’m currently at home. My breast are now engorged but whenever I pump I’m getting drops at most. Nothing even close to being able to empty. They’re currently very hard and very painful. Does anyone have an tips to try or thoughts about maybe I’m just not able to produce breast milk? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
