Officially the saddest day of my life we had to start supplementing because I can't produce enough…

It's okay honey. I was told that if you make 20oz or 2oz the nutrition and antibodies will be te same amount. If you make less the anti bodies and stuff will be concentrated.

It just makes me so sad to have to make him a bottle I feel like I can't provide for him like I should be able to @californiahaley I'm gonna be trying that fenugreek pills and mothers milk tea to try and increase my supply

You're such a good mother don't think about it as you not being able to provide for him think of it as you're doing all you can and taking the right steps that you need to in order for him to be as healthy as possible.

I'm in the same boat. I've been drinking that mothers milk and I did the fenugreek they worked then my supply has slowed way down. I get up to 3oz in a day. it makes me upset cause I know my girl loves her boob milk but I can't really provide much so she's on formula. I hope it works better for you mama.

It is super sad 😢 i know what you're going through. My baby was a Micro Preemie born at 27 weeks at first i was reproducing A LOT of milk and after a while since my baby wasn't with me they slowly stoped repeoducing by the time they let me breastfeed her at the NICU they weren't giving much milk 😔

It's making me depressed all over again I was told the more I breastfeed the more milk I'll produce but it hasn't increased at all and he's hungry all the time he can't sleep more than 20 minutes cause his belly is never full 😭 this breastfeeding thing is super hard I don't want to stop tho cause I enjoy it it's our special bonding time @karennn

Thanks @firstbaby_girl I really hope my supply goes up @californiahaley thank you I feel like I'm failing most the time it's so hard

I feel you girl. Hang in there and don't stop trying might come back out

Keep breastfeeding anyways! Feed on demand! Up your fluids! Take multivitamins! If he sleeps through the night wake him up to feed him

I always feed on demand lol @kaity0117 I'll try the multivitamins maybe that'll help thank you

Make sure you drink lots of water... Like try for 2L a day

Wow that's a lot I'll have to up my water intake @kaity0117

Yes it's super super important to your milk supply to have water... I went a week with drinking little to no water and my son didn't poop for six days and was super fussy. And I started getting dizzy. I talked to my bfs aunt (she's got 5kids) and she said water... So I did and my days and breastfeeding have been happy! Your body, if it can't find what it needs to make the milk, will take from the stores within your body... But girl... If you drink lots of water and do everything you can... That doesn't mean you've failed your child. If you have to bottle feed then do skin to skin while you bottle feed. It feels really good :) but I do sincerely hope it works out for you. If you ever have questions let me know! I'll do what I can to help. I'm not expert but I did a lot of reading and have many good sources :) good luck!
