Low supply of breast milk
I have 25 days old baby. When I try to breast feed, it's taking almost one hour for each breast. Milk is not coming by continuous flow instead it's coming drop by drop and hence baby is taking more time to empty the breasts. When I try to pump it using electric breast pump, I got 90 ml of milk from each breast but with the help of pump also milk is coming drop by drop. Is 90 ml from each breast is sufficient for baby? Why milk is not coming continuously instead it's coming drop by drop?

Milk will come drop by drop only, will not pour like a tap. 90 ml milk for a 25 day old baby is more than enough. Each feeding session should be half an hour to 40 minutes normally. What you are experiencing is completely normal . Don't worry, keep feeding the baby.
