milk amount

Ms_Loucel · July 2009

So I delivered 2 weeks ago and I was breastfeeding until one day after trying to get my son to stop I bled. I pumped for a week only getting 1 1/2 oz. Now I breastfeed every now and then b/c it hurts even though I have healed. I guess I don't know how to make him latch on properly. My breasts are becoming soft, does this man I'll soon stop producing milk?

Does the hosptial you delivered at have a lactation consultant support line you can call? At that early stage it's normal for you to not pump a whole lot. Are you supplementing with formula and counting your DC's wet diapers?

If you want to breastfeed, I'd strongly suggest getting some help! If you are only breastfeeding once and while, you're supply isn't being established; you can likely get it back but it will take some work.

Call a lacatation consulatant ASAP.

Or call your local La Leche League - their website has contact info for local groups: [url]https://www.llli.org/[/ur]
