@Katelyn she is 1 week old
Oh momma you’re good. Keep feeding and pumping your supply will be just fine! If you’re ever worried if she’s eating enough with the poor latch you can do a weighted feed (lactation consultants can help with this). It took a couple months to get my girl to latch and feed properly so hang in there. And great job! 💛
@Katelyn thank you! At least I feel I’m doing something right. I will ask about the weighted feeds ❤️
Hi mum, many congratulations on the arrival of your baby. I would suggest to try skin to skin before every feed that will help baby awaken the gross motor and fine motor skills. Hold baby gently across your body, lip central to nipple and baby will instinctively open mouth and draw nipple. Please do not worry about how much you pump! Baby will regulate your supply. Hope that helps Nida Breastfeeding practitioner
How old is baby? It could be she only drank about an oz. I am 5 months PP and almost pump the same amount of milk each time from each breast, so if I breastfeed her and then pump I assume she drank the difference.
