Wanted to start breastfeeding 2 weeks after baby was born, is it too late? just started pumping and only 1 oz a day is all i can seem to get?

Sure!: You may not be able to restore quite full mild production, but start putting baby to breast every feeding (or as many as you like) then supplement with a bottle afterwards. The natural stimulus to the breast with the baby suckling is better to get milk flowing than the pump. See a lactation consultant asap! Don't be discouraged! twice daily feeds will deliver important antibody to protect!
