Pumping question

sarahmonster07

Ok I'm sort of at a lost because this didn't happen with my first LO. I made the decision to stop breastfeeding because I LO wasn't latching on and getting enough from me and became very dehydrated. Then my boobs starting to swell, hurt, and leak so I was going to try to pump. To my surprised I got alot of colostrum, I thought maybe I could pump and give him what I get in addition with the formula.

Like I said this didn't happen last time so I'm at a lost for how much should I pump? So far I only pump when I feel swollen and all that I seem to be getting is about 3oz of colostrum from both brest. It's been about 6 days so I think my milk should have came in but it's not. Is it because I'm not pumping enough?
