Anyone producing just enough?

Question

FTM here & my LO is almost 4-weeks old. 
I had a late start with my milk coming in and now it’s just enough for exclusive breastfeeding. 
I try to pump in between feedings but it’s never enough for a bottle unless I use multiple sessions. 
I’m not worried, she’s gaining well and is always milk-drunk at the end of each feeding. Just wondering if this is common. I see so many moms here pumping and storing within the first week of their baby being born, just wanted to see if anyone else is going through this. 
Does supply increase later on?

Answer

I pumped when my daughter was little but rarely got anything - it would take me several day’s to get enough for a bottle for her.
I stopped pumping , found it too frustrating and just didn’t get on with it, but still feeding at 11 months

Answer

Do you know if there was a reason for the delay? It's possible that's whatever caused the delay is also whatd causing the limited supply. I would call your OB and see what they have to say.
You could also try the recommendations of drinking more, eating oatmeal, drinking a beer to see if those help. 
I am one of those who is 5 days pp and am tripling what my baby needs to eat and everyone is telling me how rare that is. So I'd say you're more the norm.

Answer

My baby wouldn’t latch and didn’t want to breast feed cause my supply was super late, didn’t come in until 12 days old. I feed then pump and then when she naps, normally sleeps 2.5-3 hours, I pump at an hour and a half of her sleeping and store that. My supply is coming in more and more every day. My baby is now 4 weeks and at first I was getting 1.5-2 ounce combined now I get 4-6 ounces combined during naps or middle of the night and .5-1 ounce after she nurses. It’s taken me a while but I’m just starting to get a stock built up.
