Breastfeeding Journey

As a first-time mom, it has been a challenge to produce milk. I began with only drops of colostrum, and I then accomplished to have a syringe of colostrum. I pump and breastfeed feed a lot during the day and night. I have now accomplished to produce around 4 oz. It varies. It is challenging, but I don't think it's impossible.
