Hi,
Is it advisable to still massage the breast when baby is awake and crying for milk? We are having the issue of baby not opening her mouth when she is not awake but when she is awake, she cries for milk and there is no time to massage the breast. Another problem is, the milk supply in the breast is still low. Not sure if without massage, will baby still latch on.
We have been to the lactation nurse for consultation, but she advied to keep pumping diligently every 3 hours. We have been doing it for 5 days and it is still 20-30 ml per pump sessions. Pls help.
