How many ml to supplement fm for newborn

Im preparing myself for post delivery. Heard that milk will come in slowly and will start off very little amd sometimes supply will stay low (ofc depends on individual body). If my milk ckmes in very little, if after latching baby and baby is still hungry, how do i know how many ml should i give him? Especially newborn. Do i just make like 60ml first then see he drinks until which ml? #FTM

at the beginning the baby does not need much milk (first few days) according to the doctors and nurses during my stay at the hospital. Cos I literally only had a few drops and they said it was sufficient already. But when baby is back home, try to feed 30ML for the 2nd week. And increase ur volume about 5-10ML each time if baby wants more milk. I started out with 30ML followed by 40ML (the next week) then slowly increase to 60ML by the 3rd week. By the 4th week my baby is already drinking 90-100ML.

you can try give 30ml. my baby drinks 20-30ml for 3 days after she was out. sometimes she did finished all but sometimes will left abit. then after that she drinks 60ml for 2 weeks.

There’s a suggestion on the fm tin. Can always make 30ml and top up again 30ml if baby “asks” for it. You will know.
