Dear fellow mothers, I need advice re milk supply. My bb is in his 8th wk already but I think my supply is not established yet. Previously I've blocked ducts which I've cleared w the help of lac consultants. And I took domperidone n fenugreek which help to boost my supply but ive yet to reach the adequate stage cos when I pump, the milk doesn't flow out in streams but in drops, Max I can collect is 110ml before feeding.
Currently I'm on tbf but faced a few prob:
- bb likes to suckle v long, sometimes as long as more than an hr of active sucking n yet doesn't goto sleep after tt
- bb doesnt sleep long..sometimes wakes up 1hr or 1hr + from last feeding
I should keep supplementg w ebm to help establish supply? Becos my bb wakes up so freq I'm afraid if I pump regularly ive not much left for him to suck.
Would love to hear experiences n advices fr mothers out thr. Thks!
