Help!

So my baby is 10 days old and I have been exclusively pumping and feeding her in a bottle because she won't latch!! And today I noticed that my milk supply is SUPER LOW and also she usually eats 2 Oz each feeding and all day today she's only been taking 1 oz Per feeding! Is it normal??

Re: Help!

  • Have you seen a lactation specialist to help with latch? I personally had a hard time keeping my supply up pumping with my first. There are lots of women who are successful and hopefully they will chime in. The only advice I can offer is pump more frequently or consider a hospital grade pump if you don't have one.

    As for amount LO is eating as long as she still has a normal amount of pee and poop diapers I wouldn't be concerned. I am BF'ing but some days she eats for 10 mins each feeding and other days much longer.

  • Our pedi said as long as baby has plenty of wet diapers she's getting enough to eat.
