Breastfeeding

[Hope2019]

Hi mummies,
I'm a mummy with low milk supply. Already at 7 week and my supply is 60ml max from both sides. And it is a result of 40min power pumping.
I tried eating fenugreek, papaya milk, lactation cookies, bubble tea (claim by some) and even gotten a lactation consultant session with not much improvement.

Most will advise don't stress but I can't help feeling depress that the supply is so low. My bb can latch but she drink very slow for more than hour. Pumping is also painful and I have to endure the pain. I don't think pumping have to be painful but if I reduce the suction, it may lead to lower supply.

Depressed .

Hugs. I know how you feel - it was the same one with my first one.

After my ordeal, i've decided on one thing - take it as it comes. If you don't have enough supply, there is no shame to supplement with formula. At least you have tried.

Take care of yourself, because your little one will need you more as she grows up.

Stay strong mama! You can do it.
