Is running low

This milk cow is very low in milk production. Half way through 2nd week and I did not produce much milk. Need to supplement with milk formula. But I still continue to let baby to suck. Everyday I would pump 2 - 3 times. Not a lot but it is better than the previous two where my kids relied on milk formula.
One of the few pumps this week. *wink*

I heard about mothers taking young green papaya soup to boost milk production. But I thought papayas are 'cooling' and cannot be taken during confinement. After consulting my mum and mil, I am not allowed to take papaya soup. Papaya soups should be taken before delivery. 

Instead I am eating white pomfrets and black beans soup which believe to help in milk production. So far, the result is the same. Low production milk cow. Lol.

    I heard that some products with fenugreek can increase milk supply. Dunno true or not.

    What to do? Will have to start your baby on infant formula then, not your fault.

    I tried green papaya soup, black bean soup, fenugreek tea, red dates tea and so on but my milk at 3 weeks now is still 30ml only per pump. I'm a low cow too so my anak is on alternate formula feed.
