Breastmilk

Hi fellow mummies, I am 7 days post partum, I am currently pumping every 4 hours, 160ml was my highest record today. Am I an oversupply Mum? Besides, my newborn drinks 90-100ml per feed, every 1-3hrs. What should I do? Appreciate every advice! ☺️

Hi mama, At 7 days postpartum, your BM supply hasn’t been regulated as yet. At the start, when milk comes in, it’s good to remove milk every 2-3 hours so as to maintain a healthy milk supply in the long run. If you have more than enough to feed your LO, you could start storing and freezing your BM for when and if you return to work. If indeed you’re an oversupply mama, you could also consider donating your BM to KKH milk bank or the FB group Human Milk for Human Babies :)
