Am i producing milk?

Hi mummies out there, i am all along not producing enough breast milk. My most was 30ml on both sides. (Pumping) But because i got covid so i forgo breastfeeding and pumping altogether. And i did not have any milk coming out when i started pumping for 20mins on each side ytd. i heard direct latching can boost breast milk so i decided to latch my baby. He latched about 30mins total of both sides and he fell asleep right after latching. This confuse me, i barely had milk coming out so im wondering if my milk really came out and did he feel full after he pushed his mouth away from my nipple? #pleasehelp #FTM #firstmom

You can consider doing the following (im basing it on my own experience) : continue to consistently pump / latch at least every 3 hr (2hr if u can tahan, at least for a start), whether or not there is milk. You're telling your body that there is demand for milk. do power pumping drink lots of water eat oatmeal The oatmeal part is dependent on individual ya. Jiayou, hope your supply goes up quickly.
