So I’m exclusively pumping right now as the first 4 days of breastfeeding was awful - he had the latch right eventually and I’ve had a few good feeds - but due to pain (cracked bleeding nipples), I’ve had to stop. I didn’t like the idea of him being on formula only so I decided to pump as much as I can and supplement with formula if need be. I plan on going back to breastfeeding once I’m healed.

I’m finding that milk production is increasing in my left breast (went from 30-40ml to 50-60ml). However my right breast continues to stay at 20ml. I don’t know what to do to fix this issue? I’m lucky if I get 30-40ml on the right but it only happens once a day. Any tips? Please help!

Pumping doesn't really show how much you produce on each breast. Sometimes it works better on one breast. To increase your supply you need to stimulate your breast ducts by massaging it and hand express your milk.

The reason why you have sore nipples is because baby is not latching well on your breast. You can google " baby breast latch" to find tips. In the meantime you can use lanolin cream to help you heal faster. If you have any questions please don't hesitate.

Thank you! I’ll just have to keep going! Currently awake to pump and stimulate as we speak!
