I also have to supplement with formula.. I latch & pump but still no improvement..any moms here who also has low milk supply like me? i can only pump about less than 50ml each time and has to feed my baby with formula.
that's why... i see others can even pump for the next few days and i dont even have enough for a few feeds for the day tried fenugreek but no use, tried drinking fish soup, no use also...I have the same issue as u... my bb is 25days old...

i tried but doesn't help at all...i also want to highlight to new mummies, try to do some read up on how to create more "let down" for milk to flow better. stimulate etc etc. it might help.
i realise some mummies cannot get good amount when they do not have proper let down. happen to me inital stage, sometimes until now if i am too stress, tired, let down does not happen. so i switch off pump and wait and try again.

Ya my boy too always latch & latch & still not satisfy.. you continue to let your bb suckle even if you know she's not drinking? I latch him to slp however once nipple is out of his mouth he will wake up. So you have never supplement any formula before?Hi, i consider low supply also.. When my baby was 6 week, i latch n latch she will cry n cry.. Meaning hungry. I nv give up contiunes latch her to slp. After latch i pump is as little as 20ML only.
Now i'm working which every 3-4 Hour i pump i only have 100ML.
I try Oat / Milo / red date / green papaya soup with fish tail / feguneek but seem no help. I understand your feeling,
till now i still dun wan give up.. Looking for other way to boost my supply too.
I did exclusive pumping for awhile too as my boy's weight gain is not ideal.... I pumped every 3 hrs even thru the nite but my supply nvr increase...Hi, this is what I do hope it helps the mummies out here.
I do exclusive pumping for my bb since day 5 as he was admitted for Jaundice. After he discharged we decided to bottle feed to monitor his intake. This is how I build my supply and have freezer full of milk.
Intial stage you have to pump frequently every three hrs even at night. Try not to skip at most drag to 4hrly at night. The thing about pumping ia to relax don't look at the bottle and feel stress about the amount coming out. Do something like read fb, read mummysg foum, watch show, etc. Get yourself a comfortable chair and set a pumping corner to make yourself comfortable.
I supplement by drinking Mother's Milk tea. You can get it from iherb.com. One tea bag per day. I usually drink one cup after or before I pump. So one tea bag can be used for a few round.
Important thing is to replenished your fluid. Drink plebty of water or the milk tea. Usually I will drink one cup of water before pump then one cup of tea after pump.
After your supply is enough, you can adjust your pumping schedule to 4hrly.
Hope it helps the mummies out there!
thanks for sharing.. i currently supplementing with formula and also feeding baby with whatever i have. i tried drinking more water too but it doesn't seems to help much. I'm also wondering if boob size matters haha. i noticed that women with bigger boobs like above C cup have more milk and those sadly, B and below, has no milk.Hi, i consider low supply also..
