Milk supply

Hi mummies! It's been day 5 since my baby is born and my milk supply whenever I pumped is at roughly 10ml or less..is this considered ok or too little milk for a start? I breastfeed my baby and give him formula to supplement as well.

Drink lots of fluid and don’t stress. If you can, don’t supplement with formula. Babies stomachs are really small. Just latch on demand, so your supply will increase

So true! Work on a good latch, this will help the best with your supply. If you’re struggling to latch do seek out the support of a lactation consultant. It changed my journey from express pumping to only direct latch, it’s really much easier
