thank you so much your a sweetie @hellosweetie thanks for the great info appreciate it
If you are doubting yourself stick to these rules for seeing if you are producing enough: Happy, content baby + at minimum 6 wet diapers per day + normal weight gain at check ups = breastfeeding SUCCESS!!! Any questions, let me know I'm here for you!
Yes, keep the baby on the breast more than you pump...you may get only 1oz from pumping but your baby will fill his belly by feeding himself! Keep hydrated and feed often, the more you feed the more it sends signals to your body to produce! I hope you feel better soon, and don't be discouraged or give up! You are do a great thing by continuing, your baby will receive antibodies from you to protect himself and also if he starts to get sick your body will be signaled to send more to help him!!! But it's gotta be straight to the breast feeding for that, because when the baby feeds they kinda back wash saliva into the breast which then analyzes the contents and sends all that good stuff to baby accordingly!!!
Remember baby can get a lot more than the pump. Just feed more frequently if baby seems hungry and pump in between.
thanks @hellosweetie will do you do the same :)
