My LO is 2 wks old today- In the hospital I had to supplement w/ formula d/t low bloodsugars to avoid NICU .it worked- his sugars were good.
He has a great latch and I would still nurse in the hospital. Once we got home, he lost too much weight
I met with the LC who found he wasn't getting any milk during the feeding when I nursed him during the appt.
Since then I've been pumping 8x/day and feeding him formula and pumped milk until I can get my supply up for him to BF. I tried reglan to up my supply but that didn't work. I can't take fenugreek b/c I had GD. I am eating enough and drinking at least 6 containers of my 700ml water bottler per day.
The most I get when pumping is 1-2 oz per day. my left side will produce usually 5 ml per pumping session, right is usually 10 ml.(but not every session). sometimes I just get a few drops after pumping. I do all the pumping during the day so I can sleep at night or just wake up to feed him.
I don't think my supply is going to improve -- anyone had success with supply improving after 2 wks? Any tips?
I feel like all I do is feed him or pump all day and only have less than 2 oz of BM to show for it.
