Breastfeeding concern

Okay, firstly, don’t panic. Take a deep breath. I know it’s hard, but try to relax. You are very freshly postpartum and your body is working really hard. Give it grace. You’re doing amazing if you’ve made it this far!! Don’t rush your supply, it takes your body time to adjust and produce milk fast. If it’s stressing you out so much, it may not be worth it for now. Keep putting baby on boob as much as baby wants. Pumping constantly this early can cause issues, so maybe do it once a day.
If your partner can help more in other ways, let him do that. Nappy changes, holding baby, cooking and cleaning, bringing you fresh water and snacks, etc. at night, dad can also help bouncing and shushing baby to let you rest, it makes them bond as well and lets you rest in between feeds.

Also, just to reassure you, babies can get a lot more milk than the pump can, so experts say that whatever amount of milk you pump is NOT a good representation of your supply 😊

Letting your boob fill up to try and get more doesn't work btw, you need to remove milk frequently if you want to produce more. The more milk stays in your breast and for longer, the less milk is produced as there is a hormone in milk that tells your body to stop making it.

So frequent removal is the best way to produce more.

You need to mimic cluster feeding on your breast so it makes more milk just like a baby cluster feeds to get supply up
