Help me.... I'm a FTM & my baby girl will be a month old tomorrow, all day today when I feed her she will cry in between but it has gotten much worst like if nothing is coming out.. When i pump it's not like the usual like not a lot comes out. I ate fruits, oatmeal, drank lots of water, pumped and nothing she still seems to be struggling... I'm so overwhelmed, idk what else to do.. She won't stop crying now

Does it sound like she is in pain or hungry? Also around 3-4 weeks old they have a growth spurt. Do you have any stored milk? I would try giving her some if you do but it could be a growth spurt which means you might feel like you have nothing but she could be bring your supply up hence the growth spurt. I remember going through this with Patrick when he was about three weeks old

She's hungry I know that for sure cause when she sees my breast she just starts smacking her lips :( I do have milk but she's not taking the bottle at all and just keeps crying and pushing it out with her tongue @edomke

4weeks is definitely a major growth spurt. keep trying. maybe try skin to skin to calm try and her down. see if she will suck on your finger for comfort. she may have started teething.

try the supplement formula from similac. you can breastfeed and give that formula

They could start teething this early? I had no idea @_akgirl she's laying on my chest rn, finally has stopped crying but she'll wake up and start whining again :( & what kind of bottles do you recommend? Bc she won't take the one I have now (it's called mam) @kelseys

Dr Browns Bottles work good for newborn are you still pumping for baby or feeding ? You need to pump at least 8 times a day every 2-3 hours to keep milk supply up and at night give yourself a 5 hour break or so sleep and than pump !

the Playtex bottles are really good. the nipple part is kind of big. I used Playtex bottles and breastfed, and my son didn't even notice the difference

I didn't know I had to pump that much, I usually just pump when I'm soaking through shirts.. I pumped about half an hour ago and she will push the bottle out with her tongue.. I kinda got her for a couple of minutes when I had the bottle by my nipple then she spit it all out @harata87

You can also try supplementing it through a syringe with the hose tip on and squirting it in her mouth I had to do it with my first son , he also was fond of the Playtex drop in bottles the nipples were close to that of Breast ! Have you tried nipple shields at all either ? They work wonders !! I have been talking with lactation consultant while I'm in here and she told me to maintain a supply you need to pump like 8 times and drink lots of water
