My baby is 2 mths plus and no matter what I do (eat lactation cookies , massage breasts, drink fish soup, take supplements, drink more water, drink Milo etc) I still have very Low supply. So I have to mix formula with breastmilk since day 1. Personally, I feel mixing is good as baby can have nutrients from both sides. So don’t worry.

Well it totally depends if you prefer to solely breast feed your baby or you are fine with mixing formula and breast feed. My baby is 2 weeks old now and i have been doing mix feeding since my bm is not enough for her.

Drink plenty of water, red dates work for me. Ample rest works for me too! It slowly build up, pump/latch timely.

Breast milk takes 3 mths to become stable so keep latching to stimulate and pump to 'empty' your breasts.

low bm supply too... mine had to drink fm too... continued to pump whatever I could until 6mo

I pump after every feed since baby 3 days old to boost up milk supply, it helps

Thank you
