 First off, how much you can express is NOT an indicator of your supply! Your baby is much much more effective at getting milk out than a breast pump  Second, it sounds like your baby is cluster feeding, its totally normal and can last a few days. I means baby will feed pretty much constantly as they are having/ are due a growth spurt and so are telling your body to make more milk by stimulating the breast. Don't give formula! It will throw it all out of balance. Third, any bleeding for 56 days after birth is classed as post post-partum bleeding, even if it stops and starts. Hope that helps! x | |
