Very upset, my milk is drying up and my son is only 12 days old 😢😢 I really wanted to breast feed…

lots of water and find some suppliments to take

skin to skin also helps

lactation cookie recipe

I take fenugreek!! it works. Just make sure you are draining your boobs every 3-4hours. don't "let it fill up" that doesn't work. It's all supply and demand. The more you drain out the more you produce.

If you can do boob instead of bottle and feed on demand it should help!!

@kaity0117, believe me I've tried to feed him straight off my boob but he just won't accept it. He'll throw the biggest fit & push away & cry until his entire body turns red. I prefer him to get my milk straight from my boob but he hasn't wanted to since he's been born. So I still wanted him to have breast milk so I pumped instead. Now I'm really upset thinking I'll have to go to formula soon 😢

I can't imagine dealing with that:( have you seen a lactation consultant??

@kaity0117, yes I have & they all tell me the same thing, that I have to keep forcing it on him & he'll latch on but I can't force him to do something he really doesn't want. If they saw how badly he reacts they wouldn't want me to force him. He acts like I'm breaking his arm or something & it absolutely breaks my heart. If I can't get my milk supply to increase soon I'll have no other choice but to switch. 😢
