eeling like you’re not producing enough milk can be upsetting but know you're not alone. Many women experience problems for a number reasons... Some women struggle due to poor attachment and positioning, or not breastfeeding often enough. Some babies are ‘slow starters’ because of factors such as type of birth, pain relief in labour and if they were separated from their mum at birth. If you find you are unable to produce enough breastmilk, you can seek support from your midwife or health visitor.
