help please ! I had my son at 12:09am . I pumped after he was born and got 12ml , now it takes two times of pumping to not even get 1ml . any ways I can bring the flow back or is it normal for this to happen ? he doesn't cry at all so I never know if my little bit of pump is filling him up or not .

Their tummies are super small at first so don't be too worried, you can always supplement if needed. I didn't produce much at all, I had a csection which causes milk supply to come in slower and then it just never really fully came in. I got to fully give her breast milk for a month and then some supplementing before I had to fully give her formula because I dried up. You just do what you think is best!
Yeah plus I like knowing how much is going in so I know he's not starving , I told them I would try to breast feed but I wasn't going to stress on it and they said they were glad I kept an open mind. I just wish I knew a way to make more for him to eat , he doesn't act starved but I would feel better knowing i had more to feed him @aneely13
When I breastfed I used the boopy pillow to prop baby in place and then when latched I would just push my boob in some so it was away from her nose (I have size J boobs so I know the struggle) I too ended up just pumping once I left the hospital because it was easier for us.
my son couldn't breathe while on the boob , my boobs are to big and when I'd push a little bit back he would fall of his latch. so it was better for both of us to pump , bc I wanted to try everything I could before putting him on formula . @charlotttesmama6515
These first few weeks are critical for baby learning how to breastfeed.
That's fine n normal. A pump doesn't tell you how much milk your producing.
Just curious but why are you pumping instead of putting baby on the breast?
thanks @aneely13
