Hi mummies, need some advice.
Currently I'm in day 20 since giving birth. Baby refuses to latch coz I intro bottle feeding too early n she prefers that as she don't need to work for her milk. Thus, I've been pumping at least 5-6times a day since day 4. Initially didn't buy pump coz thot I'll be latching. Anyway my problem now is my milk supply is very low. Initial 3 days only droplets then was able to pump 20-40ml in total for next one wk. I started taking fenugreek at day 15 n now my milk supply has increased to about 60-80ml. It's not very constant. I can see the increase but I just want to know the increase in milk is a slow progress? Or fenugreek is not much of a help to me? I've been drinking papaya fish soup twice a wk, soup at every lunch n dinner n about 3litres of longan red date water, milo, warm water. I'm not sure what else I can do to increase milk supply. I have also been massaging daily. Pls advice on what else I can do. Thanks in advance.
