I'm 1 week post partum and when I pump I get 1oz to 1 1/2oz every 2hours. Baby seems to be content with it plus if she's still fussy I supplement with 1oz of formula. Am I producing enough milk for my baby and will I get more?

keep her on the breast longer and it'll keep you producing more milk, or pump more often ☺

Ok, now that I got that out... Your lil one's tummy is small so she doesn't need a whole lot yet. Pumping isn't a good indicator of how much milk your baby is able to get out of you. Supplementing with formula will only make supply issues worse because your body won't register that you need to produce more. Let baby nurse as often as she needs to. It'll take roughly 6 weeks to establish milk supply.

The more you pump the more you produce drink lots of fluids eat oatmeal & other foods that will boost your supply also Gatorade helps

It's normal to lose weight the first 2 weeks of life. Just make sure you continue to pump. And try putting her To breast

your baby will way when it needs to eat. you just need to make sure that she is getting the boob when she asks for it. usually if she sucks longer she telling your breast she needs more. and it will produce that. your baby will train your boobs. lol I know that sounds weird. but that's how my mom explained it to me.

and its normal for them to lose weight at first. your baby will gain enough weight for herself. all babies dont need to be fat.
