I had my baby 5 days ago. We started nursing right away. Because she was jaundice we needed to start supplementing 2 days ago. My milk started coming in full that day. I got 20ml per boob for 20 min each. Is this good for a start?

Question

Answer

Yes that's great! Keep it up!

Answer

You baby will go through about 24oz a day. I had my son on 4/8. I pump every 3-4 hours max, I set an alarm through the night. I get about 40oz a day. Are you just pumping and bottle feeding or are you nursing and pumping and supplementing?

Answer

Stop the formula. That doesn’t make their bilirubin go down or down faster. It is a myth. It will also hurt your supply. Every ounce of formula is less breast milk baby is getting.

Yes that’s a good start! If you want to produce more, pump or you can take breast milk supplements! I took a chocolate shake one and it helped so much!

Answer

Yes!! Keep going momma! You got this! Everyone is different just remember. Congratulations on the new baby!

Answer

Yes that’s good!! No one makes a ton of milk at first
