Breast milk supply third day

Sigh, my supply is getting lesser and lesser each day. It is literally few drops of colostrum on my third day no matter how I pump and manual express. It’s so upsetting :( any tips for me?

It’s only day 3, dear:) More supply will come in very soon! For now, it’s really alright to top up with formula if baby is hungry:) Then latch baby on demand. Other important things: drink loads of fluids (3L/day), you need to get some sleep (seriously.. my supply refills a lot faster even when I rest just for a while), eat more carbohydrates and protein. Give it a bit more time:) There are a few growth spurts coming up, so demand may still exceed supply for a while.. but your supply will get there!
