My baby is currently 9 days old and had been through phototherapy for jaundice. My current BM supply is still very low, could only pump the most 20ml from both breast per session. I was forced to introduce FM while continuing limited BM to meet his needs per feed of about 60-80ml. At the same time my baby also have tongue tie and I am trying my best to lead him to latch properly, but he could only have a few slightly stronger suckles before falling asleep which then becomes light nibbling of my nipples partially covering my whole aerola. I don’t know if he is actually taking enough from my breasts. Currently BF once every 2 or 3 hours depending on baby’s need and I will continue to use pump to express out as much after baby latch for 20min each side. The short intervals are making me having not enough rest sometime I will just fall into deep sleep and have to skip a session. May I have some advise on my situation please.

I have already been through 3 sessions of LC and they don’t find any issue with my baby latching. Always got it at one go. He just simply fall asleep very easily. Should I just let him BF every 2 hourly and do away the pumping to express out the “remaining stock” or continue to do all 3 steps BF, EBF and FM every 3 hourly? At the same time, my nanny always want to top up FM for him on every feed so he could have a nicer and longer sleep over the night, sometimes he may sleep more than 3 hours. Should I also wake him up to latch when it’s the time?
