I cannot breastfeed my two and half months baby due to some complications. As a result my milk supply decreases. I tried pumping..some said pump every three hours. When I did that, i didn't get even 25 ml of my milk. I have to stop breastfeeding for about two months which is why I have to supplement with formula.

IfshaMom of a 2 m old boy2 weeks agoA. First of all dont stress out. Let me answer this with experience I have a premie baby who cannot directly breastfeed because it is important for is to measure the quantity of milk. So i pump every 3rd or 4th hour. This needs to be very consistent and I have seen my milk supply increasing every 3rd day. I pump 5-6 times a day and each session is for about an hour. Try and follow this for 2 weeks and u will notice the change. Happy parenting.
