Breastfeeding questions
I’m a ftm and had my daughter July 3. My daughter is perfectly healthy and chunky being formula fed, but I sometimes wish I could’ve breastfed. My boobs doubled in size when I was pregnant so I thought I was going to have a good milk supply for her. But after birth I never got milk. I had only a little bit of colostrum, not even enough to make a bottle. I didn’t get any milk for 2 weeks and that too wasn’t enough. I just didn’t produce any. I wanted to pump and give her breast milk instead of formula, but I didn’t really have a choice. I’d squeeze them and only a little tiny trickle would come out. Now at a little over 2 months pp I’m dried up. I’m jealous of my sister bc she always had tons of milk and she would leak like crazy for weeks until it dried up. Her babies are formula fed as well, we don’t come from a family that breastfeeds at all. All formula babies, which is okay bc were all happy and healthy. But I was wondering, could it be bc this is my first baby? If I have another baby would I get more milk? I even tried massage them bc they were hard but it didn’t work. My daughter had problem with formula at first, it hurt her tummy so we had to change it and make it ‘thin’ so she doesn’t throw it all up. I wish I would’ve gotten milk in :/
