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?

Pump out does not equate to the milk u have. U can latch and u can pump at the same time. The more demand the more supply u will create. Try to find ur milk boosters as what works for 1 may not work for another. Just keep trying to find what works for u. Gradually when ur milk increase then u can decrease the amount of fm u give. Jia you
