I agree @corinasolorio nurse on demand!!!! Do not follow them at the hospital bout every two hours. If ur baby wants it give it to them. That also builds ur milk supply

Okay..at 3weeks most babies go through a growth spurt they cluster feed to build your supply a pump doesn't get much out because your milk is regulating to her needs not only that but a baby can get a huge amount more milk than a pump can..I couldn't pump not even enough to cover the bottom of a bottle but I was feeing a chunky 6m old only breastmilk from my Brest no food no formula just breastmilk and I could not pump..don't let this discourage you keep nursing on demand whenever baby wants it..

Answer

Can't really go by the pump, it really isn't accurate for the amount of breast milk you have.   you could pump 2 but the baby can get 4.

Oh in my freezer I have about 3 months supply so drinking n keeping at it is the key!!!

Stasha · Answer

Drink lots of water n keep at it. Pump n also feed baby from boobs. It will increase. 2 liters of water everyday is good or on the way to be good. I drink 3 liters everyday n I pump on average about 8 oz a day, 1 sitting in about 15 minutes. Just drink drink drink n stay hydrated n keep at it. @mrsnewman10511 I don't bottle feed unless I'm out. So I pump n store.
