Increase milk supply
My daughter doesn't feed breastmilk directly so milk supply is very low and decreasing. Now I am trying to increase milk supply by using breast pump. Is it possible to increase supply only with using the pump?

Hi,
Breast pump is only to remove milk, it will not increase the milk production.
When the baby is sleepy or about to wake up, breast feed the baby directly.
