Bm Problem ?

Hi Mummies . I just gave birth 6 days ago . From Day 1 , I Wanted To BreastFeed My Baby But My Milk Supply Is Seriously Too Little . I Tried Pumping Both Side But End Up Only Getting 20 ml . I Seriously Felt Guilty For Feeding My Baby More Formula Milk Then My Own Milk . What Can i Do ?

My newborn started with 30ml for the first few weeks. I wasn't confident with my bm supply too initially and my milk didnt come in until a week after bubs was born so i had to give formula. LC advised to half-feed with bottle of either ebm or formula and finish off on the breasts. I did that until i was confident with my supply, and managed to fully breastfeed at 1.5months =) power pumping helps establish supply too (milk boosters failed me).
