Breastfeeding

Dear mummies, I’m feeling devastated with BF. I’m in PP day 8 and my BM just doesn’t flow well. My baby refused to latch as she can’t get milk. I tried pumping and the volume is just so little. Not sure what to do.

Hi mummy, thanks for your detailed advice. Can I ask so you are fully on pumping and no latching? 1. I have been eating well and no skip meals. Drinking lots of red date tea and water. 2. So far I have 2 LC checked and nva mentioned about short nipple so I guess is not this issue. Guess is just my baby too used to bottle feed hence refusing to latch. 3. Both LC checked but was given all different size. I’m also confused. I’m thinking maybe I’m not suitable for spectra? 5. I’m currently also following my baby schedule which is about 2-3hrly however my volume just being so constant at 30-40ml and she’s already drinking 75ml now Lastly will check out the pump you recommended

I hand expressed colostrum for 2 days, and pumped another 3 days at this 8-12 times frequency before my milk supply increased consistently to 100ml and more in total from both breasts 🙏
