My baby is almost 3 weeks old. We both took to breastfeeding very easily, however he had jaundice, so his doctor put him on formula for a few days till his bilirubin went down. While he was on formula I pumped and stored my milk and was getting 4-5 oz. everytime I pumped. He wasn't latching back on to my breast after the formula, so hubby and I decided to just pump my milk and bottle feed him. I am drinking plenty of milk and water, eating healthy and pumpimg avery 2-3 hours, but now I am lucky to get 2 oz. combined when I pump. Is there anything I can do to increase supply or am I losing my milk? Anyone with experiences like this would be appreciated, as well as anyone who has knowledge in this area. Also, when I experience letdown, it only lasts about 30 seconds, then I can't get anymore milk.
