Hi! Welcome to the motherhood life!!! First few days is the liquid gold milk and it’s little in volume but surely the best. if baby stilll hungry, sub in with fm. Normal milk volume will only come a few days later. Rmb to drink up!!! latch every 3 hours Each side 15 mins. this is what the lactation consultant told me! Both of u and baby is at this together.
