Low supply mum

Hi, I am a low supply mum of a 3 weeks old baby (combined output of around 30ml after 25 mins of pumping). Have been fully pumping every 3 hourly as baby does not want to latch since birth and baby has jaundice so I supplement with formula to ensure he has enough fluid intake. Any ideas how to increase my supply? Been taking fenugreek capsules and also lactation cookies but nothing seem to help with the supply. Also power pump once a day.

Fenugreek does not suit all lactating mummies. Some had their supply decreased. I tried and I had very bad gastric pain and my supply was still low after that. Lactation cookies also may not help. Try eating oats instead. You're still early, only 3 weeks pp. Milk supply can take up to 4 mths to establish so don't worry and keep pumping, also drink lots of water. Breastmilk is made up of around 80% of water so you need to drink up ok. Also try milo or avocado, these 2 may help to increase milk supply.
