Mummy christina, just to share my milk supply was very low during confinement for bb no.2, due to stress in handling my no.1's hfmd and baby was admitted to hospital for jaundice. In the end I resorted to formula milk as I can only pump 30-40ml every 3 hours and my baby refused to latch after came back from hospital. However, I still continue to pump despite little milk. After settling down emotionally and logistically, I decided I want to do full latching to boost supply. My son was about 5 months old and I trained him to latch back after research on how to do it. It took about 1-2weeks effort. Amazingly, I can feel my boobs are full and hard again! My supply returned fast and furious after body accustomised to the demand. So, do continue to latch as frequent as possible as baby's suckling motion is the most powerful pump. Having enough rest and drink more hot beverages e.g. milo and horlick will help to boost supply.
