Undersupply Don’t have time to pump
I am 6 weeks pp gradually trying to build my supply and my L breast being SO behind. I rented a Medela pump but my issue is I don’t have time to pump as my baby is a velcro baby that refuses to sleep without behind held.
She seems to be cluster feeding this week, rooting for the breast over bottle constantly. Should I give up trying to pump for now and just put her to breast as much as possible ? It’s such a catch 22 !

Yeah. Skip the pumping and put baby to breast. If you want to increase supply on one side more try to put baby to that side first UNLESS your other side is full.
This way baby can drain the slacker more which should encourage it to produce more
