Need some help ladies. My baby girl is 2 weeks old and I’m pretty sure my milk supply is too low for her. We had trouble last week settling her so have been giving her formula once or twice a day to help keep her satisfied. I have been feeding from both sides and swapping during feeds along with pumping once or twice a day. Today I only managed to pump 60ml the first time and barely 30ml the second time so my question is how long did you have to wait for you milk to catch up and also any tips on increasing it? I’ve been told it can take a while to settle in but right now I’m losing hope that I’m going to ever get more milk for her and formula is looking more than likely needed for more feeds a day. 😞

I’ve been feeding her on me every 90 mins to 2 hours/on demand and then giving her formula if she’s not settled after doing everything else eg nappy change etc. and pumping if she’s had bottled breastmilk or formula for a feed to try and build up my supply but it doesn’t seem to ever pump more than 60-90ml from both sides.

Any advice greatly appreciated 🙂
