I am a zero supply breast milk mum. Baby is one week. I try everything but really have no milk. I am depressed and feel ashamed of mysf. What should I do?

You can try to direct latching your baby. Baby's suckling motion is the most powerful pump to stimulate your milk supply. Just to share, I had very low supply for my baby no.2 as I don't have enough rest daily, I only managed to pump 20ml each sides which was very depressing and finally I resorted to formula milk since baby don't want to latch too. I took 1 month to train my boy to latch on again when he turns 4.5months, I managed to do it and my supply returned fast and furious! Since then, I managed to breastfeeding my boy direct latching until he turns 2 years old plus. What I did to teach my baby to latch back was: - i feed him milk from bottle first and switch to my breasts. Prior to that I try to pump a bit to have a let down first. I have tried a lot of positions with him and found a position that he likes. During the latching, I will squeeze my milk out (baby who used to bottle feeding prefer fast flow). After he knows how to suckle (took about 1-2werks), I don't offer milk bottle anymore and direct latching.
