Breast milk hand expression
Am feeding Brest milk and formula to my 3 weeks baby. I expressed my breast milk using hand today nd got about 40 ml in half an hour. I had to so hardly express the milk wherein my baby doesn't suck so hardly. Is my baby getting my breast milk or not??

Always manual expression of breast milk is difficult It doesn't mean that while breast feed baby will not get sufficient milk. If baby is passing urine 6-8 times per day And After feeding if baby sleep comfortably for atleast 1t-1.5hrs That means baby get suficient milk from breast Don't worry Keep urself happy Think about ur baby Secretion if less  imcreases for sure.
