How much colostrum is enough?

[cantheyseeme]

I had a ELCS 2 weeks ago and was desperate to BF. I had tiny droplets of colostrum but imo opinion not enough to feed dd2. I came home and a few days after got a big squirt of colostrum, im thinking thats what wouldve been enough but mw wasnt clear enough and a CA made me feel guilty because i had to bottlefeed her because she was hungry and not enough milk . so how much colostrum is enough?

I don't think it's a clear cut as that-the more they suckle the more you will produce. I guess that's why the mw was concerned about the bottle because it will confuse your milk production. I don't know much about mixed breast and bottle feeding but my instinct would be to try not to give the bottles until your milk is fully flowing because you should then see a huge change and it is wonderful to bf!
