first time mom
very little milk flow after 3 days of giving birth. i gave my baby some formula in the end as she gets frustrated when not fed enough. pumping is also quite painful. normal for first time moms?
Hi it's normal. Milk takes time to come in. My 3rd day I only had a couple of drops. I kept on power pumping even though each time could only pump a couple spoonfuls. I had to top up formula as well but after 1 week I could switch to 100% breast milk. If you have difficulty or pain please visit a lactation consultant ASAP (bring baby too so they can help with correct latching position). Best of luck and congrats mummy! 😊
Read morehi, i encounter the same thing. mine was also very little flow. i took fenugreek tablet, drink red dates & longan drink to boost my milk supply. drink sufficient of water.
