hi,
for those who has difficulties in getting breast milk supply, don't be disheartened. let me share my experience here.
my bb is 2 weeks old already. i only get in my milk supply only on day 12. my milk supply was really low, only manage to pump about 20ml.sometimes 40ml if i'm lucky. my mum has been making me soup for every meal and this has helped the milk supply to come in. now i'm pumping almosst 100-120ml each time. btw, soup must be drank when it is hot.
i wanted to total b/feed my little gal but due to breast milk, bb keeps poopoo and we have to keep cleaning her back side, thus she gets nappy rash.
therefore, i decided to give her formula milk instead to stop the poopoo.
i also begin to bottle feed her (b/milk) coz i feel so dirty with myself as i'm doing my confinement now. can't bath,can't wash hair, can;t eat this and that.... :'( and i'm so so so craving of many glasses of plain water and cold fresh fruit juices!
anyway, i hope i could encourage some of you who do not have enough milk supply yet.
oh, btw, how long do u mummies latch your bb each time on one breast? my bb only latch for 5 - 10 min each time and it is so hard to gauge whether she has enough or not.
