I didn’t have enough milk for my baby (she drank a lot at the start) till my baby was 3-4 weeks old. Only then could my supply keep up. Keep latching on demand, and if you can, also pump in between latching. Drink a lot of fluids, eat well and get as much sleep as you can. Here’s something important: if baby’s really hungry and you don’t have enough milk yet, it’s completely okay to top up the feed with formula milk. Baby will be full and happier. Once you have more milk, then you can do complete breastfeeding if you’d like:)

While this is true, topping up often kills a mother’s supply. Join a pro BF group for some support or see a lactation consultant. I have many friends who just top up, but then their body never produces more because it isn’t stimulated to. Must keep latching and pumping, tell your body it needs to produce more.
