hi mummies!
wow so much activity here...i haven't been on the internet ever since i delivered on 18 Jan.
Envy you gals who can still manage to come into the forum.
My first few days were torturous...breastfeeding is tiring, waking up a few times a nite, plus CL is not giving us the trust.
As a 1st time mum going thru all these, i really salute those who can have more than 1 kid!
Anyway my princess is 10 days old, and i'm slowly getting used to her feeding pattern.
Now just praying that my milk supply will increase.
How much can u all pump in 1 session?
It's been day 10 after delivery and i can only get max 50-60ml per session (both sides).
Is this normal? Is it possible for supply to increase later?
Yotsuba, mayb u shud chk with the PD on how much to feed? Diff babies of diff weight need diff amounts of milk.
There is a formula to calculate how much milk ur baby needs. check this out:

And be careful not to overfeed ur baby, they can get this thing called GERD. Doesn't mean baby drinks everything and doesn't vomit mean he's ok.
