Breastmilk and formula

Hi Mommy, i just given birth 2 weeks ago to a babyboy. He eats alot around 90-100ml per feed but my breastmilk is low. Each session I only managed to get around 40ml both boobs combined. I need to give him formula most times. How much does your newborn eats and what can I do to increase ny milk supply. I pump every 3 hours since my baby wats every 3 hours. I don't latch but use bottle feeding instead. #pleasehelp #advicepls #1stimemom #firstbaby #firstmom

First of all, congratulations!🎉 I just gave birth 2 weeks ago too and currently my baby is drinking 70ml per feed. Things that help to increase my supply: Green papaya soup Plenty of water / soup Salmon Positive & happy mood (I play word puzzle, watch comedy or my baby's video/photo when pumping to relax my mind) Don't fret over low output, celebrate small wins (that at least you still have 40ml 🙌🏼) Plenty of rest What is your pumping session like? For my case, I notice I yield more breastmilk if I pump 10min - rest 5min - pump 15min for every session rather than a straight 15/25min session.
