I breast fed for the first 5 days none stop then midwife said express n use pump aswell. and said she can feed on demand as much as she wants. but I'm happy with way she is putting alot weight on. just feel not enuff milk comes out at times lol. Thanks everyone I spoke to midwife today xx
Ur breasts are always refilling and will never be empty, as she feeds or u pump ur breasts are producing more at the same time so just keep pumping and it will encourage them to make more. U may be able to get 3oz easily but it don't mean u can't get more out it just comes out slower so don't wait long before putting her on that breast because if u wait long ur breast will slowly reduce the amount it makes. I pump 4oz out of each breast and leave that for my partner to feed my daughter and if she wants some right after I have pumped I put her on the breast that I pumped from so she can have the fatty milk. When u first pump u will get foremilk which is low in calories then after comes the hindmilk which is high in calories. This seems to satisfy my daughter as she's mainly getting the fatty milk for that feed so maybe this might be useful for ur daughter aswell. My daughters 3 weeks and is on 4 ounces roughly per feed as its so warm. Hope this helps X
