Thank you @steph11

Facebook search of this group they are amazing its, breastfeeding, the struggles we've overcome

someone will have to add you which make take a few hours but they are a amazing group and have helped me soooooo much

are you using a electric pump some women don't respond well to pumps which you could still have plenty of milk. I would try a cheap hand pump see if it'll hell because you can watch how it flows out so you can control the speed more or try hand expressing! I know that'll and it's a lot of work but it could help and if try lactation cookies or put brewers yeast and flaxseed in smoothies if you like smoothies

@mamalamadingdong, thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

P.s. I BF and EBF for over a year while working and maintaining a busy schedule. I would even pump in my car during lunch breaks when I had to and would bring insulated bags with ice packs to save the milk. If I could do it- anyone can with some determination (assuming there are no actual complications, anyways). Lol, trust me.

It seems to be a common issue at four months for a lot of us. I know I went through it with my first and was experiencing the same issues you are talking about. I started to think I'd have to supplement or even give up, but I didn't. Once you get past that four-month-hump, it gets WAY easier. Supply will pick back up if you just keep pushing through it. I know it's hard to pump, but that also gets easier with time and when you are more comfortable with a routine of doing it. It's really up to you and what you find important. There is no right or wrong choice. However, if it is important to you to BF longer, than let me encourage you and promise it gets better! You just gotta hang in there. If you choose not to, that's okay, too. You've already given your baby the most valuable gift during these last few months and you should be proud.

I'm here with you as well

I feel like I never have time to pump and when I do it's not enough. 😔

Maybe try some mothers milk tea or some lactation cookies. I know it's hard but you've gotten this far you can keep going I know it! 💪🏼
