I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm not producing enough milk. I was engorged for a couple days and pumping and had tons. The laceration consultant told me to massage, and completely drain my breasts by nursing a lot and I did. But since then it doesn't seem like I'm filling up. Baby is at the breast constantly. I know he's getting a lot of milk bc he has plenty of diapers.. but when he's at the breast sometimes he just yells at it. Like he'll suck for a second and then start freaking out and if I squeeze I can see milk coming out but I have to squeeze and massage my breast for him to stay latched on. I want to start pumping to increase my supply but there's no time because he's always nursing.. I have another appoinent with the lactation consultant on Friday but I'm really worried and this sucks :(
@megsandbabes, my breastfeeding journey always has me questioning if I am doing it right! I am sure you are doing just what he needs. I really didn't start pumping until recently and I barely am able to pump one feeding ahead.
@michelle-, to increase for him. I feel like I'm not making enough to fill him up because he's never done....
Yeah that's what I'm worried about. Since I have to go back to work eventually and I know his feedings are just going to get bigger. Getting an ounce a day definitely isn't going to cut it. And I'm so set on him being EBF. I wasn't able to do it with my others. Thank you for the encouragement. @michelle-,
