so during the day my breast just seem to get super empty, they are usually super filled when I wake up. right now I feel like I have no milk but I can hear my daughter swallowing so I'm OK but I really feel like I am losing milk ....if I don't wake up with full breast i think I'm just going to stop. I hate not knowing how much my daughter is getting and I'll have to buy new bottles because she won't take any of the kind I have.

I know how you feel. my son was born early and all I wanted to do was breastfeed for him and pump and everything and all the stress and everything I'm going through is causing my milk supply going up and down and it's driving me nuts. I finally gave up:( I didn't know what else to do...

don't give up hun! as long as she's growing then you're fine! your body adjusts and you don't always feel full/engorged (usually just when you go really long times without bfing!) just don't give up! your body knows what to do :) keep at it and research! Try oatmeal and other things that are recommended to increase your supply!

Your supply is probably just fine:) Your body gets more efficient at storing and making milk the longer you nurse, which means your boobs won't feel full and your body is making milk as your baby nurses! Just breastfeed on demand and if your baby is having wet diapers and gaining weight, your producing all that is needed. Your doing good, no need to stress. I nurses for 13 months and after a while, I didn't even feel full in the morning and was able to satisfy a chunky one year old that would barely eat any real food.

thanks guys and yea shes pooping peeing and doesn't fuss much but I just still sometimes wonder what shes getting and she hates taking breast milk out the bottle like its not the same for her once it its air and then it chills a little so I'll warm it under cold water and she still just wants the boob but I'll definitely keep trying, just being over dramatic @ssdeese @bc8509 @elenalee @nikolaismommy @frozenessence I'm going to get me some things to help my milk supply tmrw!!!

Try oatmeal, gatorade, and drink lots of water.

@supermom1104, it did help me but like I said I was under so much stress it made it go down again.

You're not a bad mom! There is so much judgement... it's so sad! We just need to be supportive! As long as you're feeding, taking care of your little one & loving her then you're a great mom! Just because you formula formula feed doesn't make you a bad mom! I formula fed my oldest 2 after I went back to work full time and worked 3rd shift. I just couldn't keep up :/
