My daughter is 2 weeks, I have been combo feeding. However with breast milk the supply is thin and not filling and I don’t know how much she gets when she latches on so I began to express. However, I have started to be less consitent with

I’m 5 weeks postpartum and in the exact same position. I have no clue what to do and I wanted to exclusively breastfeed but I can’t because it’s just not enough and 40 minutes on the breast pump only gives about 30ml or less.

The only thing that really helped me with that is mothers milk if not producing enough it’s a tea it’s really good for your supply and your gut, but if it’s being sore like you feels you still have some trapped in there, you could be using the wrong Falange size, I know I messed up and was using the wrong one for the LONGEST time, and it caused a lot of soreness and redness in the nipple and not enough let down so soreness everywhere, a lot of breast feeding moms also have elastic nipples (I know I sure did) so sometimes you have to re measure every once and a while, but most importantly give yourself some grace hun you’re still learning (hell we all are) be patient with yourself you aren’t supposed to know everything ❤️
