Brandon really stresses me out.. He keeps telling me to pump more often to produce more even though I am and I'm not producing anymore.. I don't want my baby on formula either because he's preemie and needs the antibodies, but I'm miserable constantly pumping and being let down about the amount.. It's depressing me and he and his mom always talk about the things I do like I'm wrong. It really hurts my feelings.. They make me feel like I'm not doing a good job raising my son..

There's a tea you can take to produce more milk ! You should try it . It worked wonders for my sister

Keep your head up momma ♡ Does your hospital have a lactation nurse you can consult with? If not there are a lot of different tea or cookie recipes you can try to boost your milk supply...Also, have you heard of power pumping you might Google that as well.

It's just so stressful exclusively pumping.. I'm going into a depression because of lack of supply and I just want to enjoy motherhood not have this burden over my head all the time..

Stress will hurt your supply too, mama. If at all possible try not to. Water is free so drink a ton of it, and you can get store brand oatmeal and eat a ton of that too! It will help 😊

Idk then. Have you ever heard of power pumping? I've never tried it bc my supply's always been fine. But if you could get the money for it I've heard fenugreek pills work wonders. Personally I've never tried that either.

Talk to a LC for sure they'll be able to offer more help I'm sure.
