prob asked 100 times but I only have 5 mins before a feeding

I am having a hard time with feeding so I am on a 10 min with a shield feeding, then I feed him from a bottle (he usually eats 1.5 -2 ounces) then i pump for 15 mins.

I am only getting about an ounce (mostly a little under from both breasts) when I pump. Today is 1 week for him, does my supply get bigger or am I only going to get that much??

In the morning feeding I have been getting about 2 ounces but that is the most.  

Any recommendations???  Please

That's about what I was getting at one week and I've never had to supplement.

Its ok, I know its scary.  Milk is coming out and thats whats important.  If its your first it can take a little bit for your let-down response to kick in and my baby used to nurse for like 45 minutes every two hours when he was teeny.  If there's a problem, his peds will pick up on it very soon with all the weight checks, and besides, as long as he's peeing and pooping a million times a day, he's doing fine Good luck

That sounds about right, but I didn't pump until about 2 1/2 weeks so I don't know how much I would have gotten at 1 week.  It picked up and unfortunately for me around 6 months it's way down, boo!

That should be fine, just be diligent about not skipping any pumping sessions
