I am a little over 3 weeks pp andddd my milk is coming in slow :melting_face: I finally got two ounces on both sides after a 3 hour break! That’s a record :face_with_peeking_eye: I really hope my supply goes up :folded_hands: thankfully it’s enough for my little one I just want the chance to get a freezer stash and have the opportunity to donate again :heart_hands:t2:

Thank you​:heart_hands:t2: I just get worried because some people say your supply regulates at 6 weeks and idk how true that is :woman_shrugging:t2:

It is so hard to see that and feel like you aren’t doing enough (ask me how I know :weary_face:)seeing all the moms the same amount of weeks postpartum as me producing so much and I was making just enough was hard and I had to learn my worth isn’t measured in ounces and that as long as my baby was fed and happy it would all be alright when I quit putting so much pressure on myself it really helped. It is so much easier said than done though

I think everyone is different and there is a vague timeline but that’s not necessarily true for everyone

Yes 100% that’s how I was my first breastfeeding journey I was soooo hard on myself because I had to combo feed and I definitely felt like I wasn’t enough it was bad. This time I’m definitely easy on myself and just trying my best​:heart_hands:t2:

I appreciate you thank you!:heart_hands:t2::heart_hands:t2:

Maybe your baby is just taking most of the milk before you pump? I remember reading somewhere that 2 ounces from each side is pretty common…I think it was a Momcozy article actually. Pumping/nursing more frequently should help increase your supply, but can take up to a couple weeks to see a difference depending on your body

Make sure you’re using a hospital grade pump, have the correct flange size, drinking at least 80oz of water and 100g of protein a day! You got this!!!
