I’m a FTM and I just gave birth on 2/5. I am still waiting on my milk. I have produced some but even trying to pump for 30 min produced only 1/2 ounce on one side during a session. I’ve had to supplement with formula due to dehydration because my baby was nursing and not getting enough milk.

My breast had gotten hard as bricks on day 3 so I uses a heat pack and pump to relive the pain. Since have gone down a bit but still not enough milk.

I make sure he still nurses, we do skin to skin, lactation tea, and cookies.

I’m trying not to freak out and be hopeful that a good supply will eventually come.

Any advice, tips or words of encouragement?
