10 days in and low supply
I’m looking for some positive stories!
My baby is 10 days old today and my milk supply has never fully come in.
I had a c section and lost 800ml of blood in recovery.
He was exclusively breastfeeding for the first few days but he was losing too much weight and started having less wet nappy’s so I was told to supplement with formula. The last few days he doesn’t want to latch at all
Ive been referred to a lactation specialist and in the interim have been told to pump 8 times a day. I’m getting so little when pumping (15ml from both breasts after 30 min pumping is a good result for me) I’m not surprised baby doesn’t want to latch anymore
I’m starting to lose hope that I’ll be able to feed him and I’m so heartbroken.
Was anyone else successful in increasing their supply at this stage?
