I had to do the same what helped me was mother's milk tea and sticking to feedings on demand and pumping after do you have any breastfeeding consultant you can go to there? here where I'm at our WIC office offer free consultation even if you don't qualify great resource ? @chaybug01

I actually do have wic but I don’t think they have a lactation consultant 😕 and the ones at the hospital I gave birth at weren’t really involved and every time I told them he was cluster feeding and staying latched to me, I would get told “you’re doing a great job momma” and then they’d walk out. They wouldn’t even look to see if he was properly latched or anything. I thought about trying the tea but I worried I wouldn’t like it. Does it taste okay? I honestly want to try a different pump and try the lactation pills but I haven’t had time to get either one

Welcome! Your baby is only 2 weeks old so his belly is still so small so you dont need to produce much. Keep nursing everytime hes hungry even if it feels hes attached to you all day. Hes helping you establish your supply. Also try drinking Gatorade. It replaces electrolytes as well as hydrates. Best of luck mama, sounds like you're doing a great job!

I am drinking Gatorade and my son eats a 4oz bottle now. (His doctor gave the okay) he’s got to the point he doesn’t like to latch on to me so he can nurse so that’s become another reason why. I’ve been pumping but I only get like two oz’s every three days
