Am i producing milk?

Hi mummies out there, i am all along not producing enough breast milk. My most was 30ml on both sides. (Pumping) But because i got covid so i forgo breastfeeding and pumping altogether. And i did not have any milk coming out when i started pumping for 20mins on each side ytd. i heard direct latching can boost breast milk so i decided to latch my baby. He latched about 30mins total of both sides and he fell asleep right after latching. This confuse me, i barely had milk coming out so im wondering if my milk really came out and did he feel full after he pushed his mouth away from my nipple? #pleasehelp #FTM #firstmom

Have you been consistently pumping 30ml? How long has it been? If you only been pumping for a few days, and now can't pump anything, then you prolly need to do a lot of power pumping for your supply to come back. Look for food to boost your supply, maybe like fenugreek supplement or something.. If you have been pumping for 2 months or so, and consistently 30ml, and stopped for a few days (not like weeks), then there's no need to worry, just drink plenty of water, continue pumping and nursing as usual and your supply should come back within a few days as your body should already be producing milk on supply and demand.
