I consulted an LC around 1.5mths pp because i was hoping to bf exclusively but we had to top up due to low supply. I was told to give baby half her feed in the bottle first and finish off by latching. Also power pumped. By around 3months when i was already confident with my supply, we didn't have to top up with fm anymore, and I'm still breastfeeding her now at 11months. It's important to keep hydrated. I also diligently pump every 3 hours during the early days, even after latching.

after latching, the milk only comes out a little if i pump. that is okay too?
