I'm really having hard time with breastfeeding. I feel like my supply has just dropped, but I've been trying to pump more to get it up...so I am getting less. Baby doesn't feed off me because my nipples are just too small and my boobs are just too big. I know that I should have pumped more before but my emotions have me all over the place preventing that from happening. I don't want to loose my supply. I'm just ready to throw it all out the door.
I know exactly how you feel! Until my milk comes in were giving Ezra donor breast milk so at least he's getting the benefits
@tracynangel, I just really feel bad about giving him formula. he was on it originally because he wasn't gaining weight and born small as it is. @aalyx_xoxo that's hard, I have anxiety and I'm suffering from PPD, all I do is worry. @expecting2015 I I've heard that too but it's really hard to get a chance in to eat then remember to pump and drink more fluid all on no sleep plus all the drs appts and running around.
I'm with you on that. It's so hard and so time consuming! I'm not giving up though! You can do it! Pumping isn't the same but you're still the one feeding your baby. No one is perfect so don't beat yourself up! Your baby loves YOU no matter what!
Drinking a ton of water helps and try the earth mama angel baby mothers milk tea and even these awesome cookies called milk makers! Also, call your local lactation consultant and ask about nipple shields to help baby latch. Good luck!
