My baby is 2 weeks old now and she has been fed with breast milk and top up with formula once or twice at night. It seems that my milk supply is not satisfied her hunger at night. I tried to pump out and the most I can get is 40 ml from both breasts. Can I ask when is your milk supply kick in? Is it normal that 2 weeks my supply is only about 40 ml per pump?

Hi~it is better to latch on fully for at least 1 month wo pump to establish good milk flow. After that u can start to use pump when the milk flow is better. Try to relax and not to stress yourself too much if not it will affect the milk supply. Try to eat food or drinks that might help such as lactation cookies or oat milk etc.
