Hey!
My little girl is 6 weeks old. I started off trying to breast feed her and pump, but she really struggled to latch and the pumping became a struggle for me. I stopped pumping after around 2 weeks.
I then started to get a really overwhelming feeling that I wanted to breastfeed and keep trying, and give her my milk where possible for her health.
So I've read up as much as I can about it (there's not much info) and you can potentially bring back your milk supply. I've started pumping and offering her breast whenever she wants it/will take it.
I've been pumping for about a week and I have very little milk so far. Beforehand i used to pump for around 10 mins and get 4-5oz per session.
I know it takes time but I'd just like to hear some experiences if anyone's done this and succeeded or not been able to bring back supply? And how long etc?
