Hi, I’m first time c section 36y old mom with a 1.5 month old baby. I feel my supply is dropping. I used to try to pump after every feed in first two weeks but my supply didn’t regenerate quickly enough so baby would be hungry on me and unable to latch.

I stopped pumping after feeds so I could focus on breastfeeding and latch. Now, baby is able to latch well but my supply isn’t growing. Is this all I have ?

Stats-

• baby is 1.5 month old probably weighing at 6.5lbs ( based on last doc appt)
• Currently I breastfeed baby for about 20 min on one breast and 10 min on another . Then we move to formula (baby drinks about 40-60 ml depending time of the day)
• baby feeds average of 8x a day ( ~3hours on breast and ~ 10oz of 22cal/oz formula per day)
• baby was 5 lb at birth gaining steadily.
• today I fed baby this morning from one breast and pumped other breast and I only got 1oz at 9am.

Things I’m already doing: Fenugreek, lactation teas , drinking ample water , relaxing , not stressing , hot baths , hot liquids, high protein diet.

What would help me increase my supply?
