I totally get how you’re feeling. First of all, don’t be discouraged if you’re only pumping a little — the early weeks are all about establishing supply, and sometimes it takes time. Your baby’s latch is key, and as long as he’s nursing frequently, it’s a good sign. Urate crystals are common in newborns, but if you’re concerned about his wet nappies, it’s always good to check in with your pediatrician. You're doing great, and you’re not alone in this journey!
