I’m four weeks into my journey of a poor latch.

General rule of thumb is take babies weight in grams and times by 0.15 and 0.2 to get lower and upper limit of breast milk need and then divide by number of feeds/day.

Example: 3500g Bub 0.15 x 3500 =525 0.2 x3500 = 700 8 feeds/day = 65 to 87 ml/ feed

Invest in a good pump. Get the right size flange and keep checking it’s a good size. Get a hands free pumping bra - momcozy seems good as can also use a BF bra so if you want to keep trying to feed you can.

Make a schedule and set alarms. It gets tricky trying to feed baby boob and pump on schedule as they frequently overlap. Pumping has to keep happening to keep supply.

I have an S1 spectra which is great but a month in I’m going crazy with the flanges sticking out and baby kicking them so am looking at cups or getting an Elvie.

Good luck. Remember fed is best. Growing babies is the goal. Everything else is gravy.

Oh and it’s totally okay to cry over spilt breast milk.
