Stressed.

BF can take a few weeks to fully establish. It can be hard but, if you're willing and able, stick with it.. I promise it gets better and easier. Baby will go through cluster feeding to establish your supply. What you pump isn't an indicator of your supply, baby will always transfer more than a pump. Have you tried a nipple inverter? It may also be worth reaching out to your local infant feeding team for some 1:1 face to face support to look at positioning. Good luck ❤️

https://mamas-milk.co.uk/ols/products/mamas-milk-nipple-correctors I'd get these fairly soon if interested as they're on sale and being discontinued. Also make sure you're using the right size flange on your pump. They often common with a universal size which is fit for no one. Emily also sells a nipple measuring tool which is fab to make sure you've got the right size x

2oz per pumping session is pretty normal. Have you considered cosleeping? In the long run it will make life much easier especially when you breastfeed. I just pop out a boob and go back to sleep😅

I too had a nipple that would disappear as soon as it's in baby's mouth - I bought nipple shields and it worked great, I managed to breastfeed and avoid pain. I got mam brand. Just to say it may be hard to wean off later, I'm on it still 7 weeks in and I don't know if/when I'll drop it. Also as @Alice I'm cosleeping after some moses basket attempts. When baby sleeps on me I hug him and gently lie down putting him on my side, with my arm under him at first so he doesn't feel the transition lol. Then i remove it once he's settled 😁

Can’t help with the inverted nipple as it’s not something I have experience with but it’s normal not to be able to pump large volumes of milk (have you also double checked your flange size for your pump is correct though?). The not being able to put baby down is nothing to do with being hungry it’s completely normal - research the fourth trimester. Baby doesn’t realise they’re seperate from you for months yet so will just want to be close it’s a survival mechanism. I’d recommend co sleeping if you can - it gives baby the closeness they desire and means you get some rest too. Congratulations on your new baby, it’s rough at the start but I promise it gets so much better x

I find that I pump different amounts depending on time of day. At night it will only be an oz per breast. But in the morning it could be double or triple. I’m finding the Thompson method really helpful and we’re 10 days in. She has loads of advice that’s different to the generic stuff that can help problem solve

Have you tried pumping for a minute or so on the left then trying to latch? I'm the same and find that helps. My left is also painful so I use the right more and then that becomes sore!! I dont really have any solutions but feel your pain 😫

Does the nipple come out with a bit of pumping? Many mums with inverted nipples find they only need to pump initially to pull the nipple out and then baby can feed on it. It sounds like you're doing an amazing job. 2oz at 2 weeks is a really good amount! And her behaviour also sounds very normal for a 2 week old. Here's some info on how to tell if baby is getting enough milk.https://laleche.org.uk/is-my-baby-getting-enough-milk/

Someone advised me to drink oat milk and it really worked increasing my milk supply. Not sure how but it did xx

I don’t reccomend co sleeping till shes least 6 months you both wouldn’t forgo yourself if something happened

You can safely co-sleep, check out the lullaby trust x

Have you tried silver nipple shields after she attempts latching on the one side? They really help my nipples heal. My baby is 2 weeks old and I’m EBF and expressing due to tongue tie and slow weight gain and I get no more than 2oz a time. You’re doing well mama x
