Breastfeeding

What’s making you think he’s not getting enough from you?

I have seemed to run low as well, we are supplementing more with formula… don’t feel bad. As long as the baby is eating… we’re ok. Give yourself grace… it’s a lot going on with our bodies as well. Be encouraged

Feeling this!! Ftm to 3 week old. My LC had put me on a triple feeding temp schedule for this reason…my baby has trouble latching well and wasn’t gaining weight fast enough. We are just now transitioning to combo feeding, and I pump to keep up my supply. I’d highly recommended finding an LC! You’re not alone, and even if you have to supplement with soy formula, every little bit of breast milk is good for your baby! And a fed baby and a mentally well mother is even more important!

At 2 weeks, at every feed, your baby helps your body with your supply. You have to listen to your baby and feed every time he is hungry. I get where you’re coming from -thinking it isn’t enough … but you’re just starting your BF journey! It gets better. As long as he’s gaining weight, it’s ok! Feed baby more :)

Have you ever contacted a lactation specialist? Usually covered by insurance

It’s important to work with a lactation consultant. Using teas without knowing what you’re doing and what those teas really do could make things worse. Milk supply doesn’t just go up with teas if you haven’t looked into the real cause of your supply being low.
