Why didn't much milk come out when I pumped?

It sounds like you have concerns about supply, because you pumped and didn't get much out when you pumped. And it's important to understand that, for 1, not all pumps are created equally, and even the best ones aren't as efficient as a baby actually is at emptying the breast. Milk production isn't exactly like turning on a faucet and just getting instant flow. Milk releases when a mother has a let-down, and so it's normal to have to pump for 30 to 60 seconds or even a few minutes before the milk actually starts letting down and actively flowing. And a mother will have multiple let-downs during a nursing or pumping session, and if you don't continue pumping and allow yourself to have multiple let-downs, then that will affect the volume that you're able to get out of the breast tissue and the volume that you're able to see in the cup. Sometimes mothers have a hard time having a let-down, and it might be because you're stressed or you need to make it happen quickly. I remember pumping at work, and I had 15 minutes to eat and pump, and you're like "Hurry and happen!", and when you're stressed out like that, it just doesn't come. And so you need to just relax and take a deep breath, maybe even close your eyes, think about your baby. There's actually research to show that it also helps if you have a video of your baby, or if you have a recording of them crying, that can help the let-down happen. So sometimes those factors contribute to your ability to pump efficiently as well. Ultimately, what all of this means is that you may very well be making enough to meet your baby's needs, you just weren't able to pump as much as your baby is able to get when they're nursing. So look at your baby to make sure they're showing signs that they're getting enough to eat. If your baby is having at least 6 wet diapers a day, having regular bowel movements, and gaining the appropriate amount of weight as determined by the pediatrician, then things are going well. If you have any questions about your baby's well-being, then be sure to talk with your pediatrician about it, and they can give you tailored information and advice.
