Breastfeeding

Dear mummies, I’m in my PP day 8 and my BM is still not flow in fully. My baby refused to latch due she can’t get milk . I tried to pump but the volume just too little. I’m kinda lost and feel like giving up on breastfeeding. Any mummy struggling the same as me?

I have a similar issue too and am also in Day 8! Even after pumping both sides I have max 30ml. On top of that the lactation consultant at the hospital said my nipples are small and flat which would be difficult for latching. (“: We were concerned that bb wouldn’t receive enough input from me alone for her to clear her jaundice, so we allowed the nurses to feed her w bottled formula while she was admitted. We also top up w formula after latching for each feed if she still seems hungry. I guess the bottom line is that it’s really ok to give formula, what’s more impt is that the baby is full & fed. jiayou mummy!
