Try another latching position, and massage your breast before feeding to stimulate better milk flow.

Can engage IBCLC to correct the latch if you don’t like the idea of pumping.

Some things you can try: Try to offer baby the boob again. I didn’t have a successful latch until when she was 2 weeks when I tried again. I followed YouTube videos to learn how to latch 😅 Drink lots of water or soups through out the day, especially the period before, during and after pumping. Sunflower Lecithin (I’m using LegendairyMilk) Milk boosters (Also from Legendairy milk, I tried this before buying the big size. https://shopee.sg/product/250981465/7834292376?smtt=0.18947-1660270737.9 ) Power pumping once a day Pump every 2.5-3 hourly (20mins, max 30). Don’t drag pumps, don’t skip pump/latch. DON’T STRESS (this is the biggest milk killer). If not enough, just do mix feeding while you build up your supply. Don’t look at the bottle while pumping as well. Fighting! 💪🏻🥹
