Mom of a 3 yr 11 m old child3 years ago
Q.

I have 10 weeks old baby girl, she wound not latch properly.. have tried many options like direct breast feeding, paced feeding/ nifty cup but all options were not working… she started crying a lot and taking less milk… so I decided to do exclusively pumping. Now I have produced only 500ml expressed milk, rest I do supplemented her by formula. I do pumping for 8 times a day since a week, previously I did only 4-6 times pumping in a day… My question is how to improve my expressed milk quantity? Should I increase more frequency? Or it would improve by its own… I am feeling stressed and depressed too… need help badly. Thanks
