| Pitiful supply of breastmilk. Help!
I had been breastfeeding my son for the past 3 weeks. As he had jaundice, the hospital recommended that I supplement my breastmilk with formula. And since then I had been feeding him breastmilk followed by formula... but I seem to have a rather pitiful amount of breastmilk, i usually breastfeed straight from the breast but when I pump, I noticed that my milk supply is a rather sad 10 ml for both breasts (combined)! I understand that breast milk is based on supply and demand and I might have jeopardized my supply by supplementing with formula... what can i do to remedy this?
Cutting out formula is not an option as I am worried that my baby will not gain the appropriate amount of weight. Please help! |
