When does bm stop?

Help! FTM! gave birth 3w ago.. pumped 1st week but no bm and I started eating lactation cookies.. then I have a bit of bm flowing out.. then I got lazy and have not been pumping for abt a week. Breasts doesn't feel pain unlike back then wen I just give birth. Does it mean I shld just give up hoping for bm?

When you mention you have not been pumping for abt a week, did you latch baby? if not, then you have to restart the whole process of pumping or latching every 2 - 3 hrs and perhaps try lactation cookies/ supplements to boost your supply. breastfeeding is alot of hardwork and determination, you cannot just hope for bm to come
