breastfeeding

hi, first time mum here— just brought home my newborn today and ive been struggling with breastfeeding to the point where i felt super guilty about not being able to feed my baby enough milk. i dont really know how to soothe my baby whenever he cries after realising im not producing enough milk and i feel pathetic not being able to breastfeed him like i want to. #pleasehelp #firsttimemom #FTM #firstmom #baby

Just attended a breast feeding seminar yesterday, and I was worried about this too... The consultant says that the first few days, baby's stomach is only the size of a blueberry so it doesn't really need much milk. Also, they also say that if you want your milk supply to increase you need to keep releasing milk until its empty. Maybe can try expressing it out into a container. It let's you know how much milk you have and is feeding, and it also helps you to empty your breasts to help increase milk supply!
