Hi mummies, my LO is 2 weeks old now and we started off rocky with bf due to blocked ducts. I am currently bottle feeding him ebm and fm as pumped amount is very low (30-40ml per pump). I am already pumping 8x per day, taking fenugreek and lactation tea but the supply don't seem to go up. Do you think I should latch baby on now whenever it's his feeding time? Does the pump output equate to the amount of milk I have?

The pumping amount doesn't equate how much milk you have. Baby latch will definitely be able to suck out more milk than pump. U shld let baby latch to stimulate the milk supply too. Initially my milk supply wasn't enough so I supplement with fm. But since I latch, I totally dropped fm liao.
