When does bm stop?

Help! FTM! gave birth 3w ago.. pumped 1st week but no bm and I started eating lactation cookies.. then I have a bit of bm flowing out.. then I got lazy and have not been pumping for abt a week. Breasts doesn't feel pain unlike back then wen I just give birth. Does it mean I shld just give up hoping for bm?

If you intend to continue breastfeeding, you may try taking supplements or lactation cookies that helps with boosting milk supplies. Latch or pump regularly, try not to skip as it is a demand and supply thing. As you just gave birth, your supply has yet to regulate, so there are still chances to increase it. Drink lots of fluid (soup, red dates tea if you are still in confinement) and ensure you have proper rest. Take care and jiayou mama!
