Babies do get out more than a pump can, but not like a BUNCH more. But if your baby seems satisfied and is having a good amount of poopy and wet diapers I think it’s okay right now

Hey, first of all, congratulations! And secondly, you’re doing an amazing job—please don’t feel guilty.

I went through something very similar. When my baby was around 2 weeks old, he used to cry a lot, and I started giving formula because I thought he wasn’t getting enough milk. But I later realised I was wrong. If your baby is sleeping well, having regular wet and dirty nappies, and feeding on time, it usually means they are doing just fine.

I was also pumping and not getting much, which made me feel like I wasn’t producing enough milk. But supply increases with time. The more frequently your baby breastfeeds, the faster your milk supply builds.

My baby is now 12 weeks old, and I’ve stopped formula as he started gaining good weight. I’m breastfeeding more and more now, and babies can get the milk they need quite quickly—even in just a few minutes.

Try not to worry too much—babies are smarter than we think and know how to get what they need. 💛

He is. 18 days is too early for a large supply. Dont worry! Also, a baby suction is 10x stronger than any pump machine!! So naturally less will come out when u use a pump!!

Thank you so much mommas💕I truly appreciate your advice.
