insufficient bm... should i just stop?

im into post partum 1 month. my bm at each pump session averages 50ml only. my baby already can drink 100ml at every feed, even before reaching 1m. tried eating fenugreek pills & even fennel essential oil, latching but no increment of bm. especially disappointed when still have to pump every 3hours for that miserable amount of bm. should i just stop? how else to increase bm?!

Feeding on demand is exhausting if DL your little one but it’s the best way to boost your supply. If my little one skip a meal or go longer without milk at night I would still wake up to pump. It’s very much a supply and demand system. You can do it!! It’s hard work but it’s totally worth it. Now my LO is 4.5 months and o my takes him 10 min on one breast for a full feed. It gets better, hang in there!!
