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?

I think what u could do is drink more red dates tea and then eat more healthy food to boost milk supply e.g. fish, millet porridge (小米), black bean soup and etc.. then pump every 2 hourly. have ur 3 meal well and have enough of slp/rest is super impt as well. latch e baby in e morning or afternoon @ least 15mins if possible.. then after latch then give the milk to baby. what i do w my nanny is I will latch the baby then after that baby will have alt breast milk and formular every 2hrs of feeding. . and I heard from a lot that Nan formular is the closest to breast milk so if really get formular get Nan and it is not so heaty compare to other formular. I'm still learning from ppl ard me too. hope what I says helps 😀😀
