Hi I have been breastfeeding my 6 weeks old boy, not exclusively as I do supplement with either my expressed bf or formula (had mastitis so supply dropped drastically, has been building up since with pumping every feed) but I do latch on 90% of the time.
Will be going back to work in Nov hence would like to cont providing bf for my boy. The problem is whenever I express, I manage to express 25ml on each breast which is way too little to feed my boy in one session. I know its not my supply issue since he is satisfied after each feed (he will cry nonstop if he is not full).
Because of the infection, i got a massage lady to clear the blockage and that was when I realized that I'm pumping way little for a 6 weeks bfing.
I'm using medela freestyle pumping at L6 with a 27mm funnel.
What is the problem? Me or the pump? I usually pump 20mins every 2 hrs if bb is not up for his meal. That max I get is 4 let down.
