I'm feeling guilty. Baby is 5 days old and I'm not able to soley breast fee like I expected. I'm not…

mothers tea.... its fenugreek supplements that help dont give up @mrscrayton i understand how you feel with my first i didnt lactate enough but i didnt have the knowledge of knowing what to do also

don't give up, hang in there, breastfeeding is hard, it takes 3 weeks to learn that. supplement for now, let baby pacify on you. it'll develope his suckling muscles, help your milk come in and then you'll be on your bf journey. 💖💖best wishes

The more you put him to breast and let him nurse, the more you'll produce. His stomach is still small so he will want to eat very frequently. It doesn't mean you're not producing enough, it just means his body is digesting the amount he's eating faster than when you feed him formula. It's rough in the beginning but you can do it!!!

Don't stop! The doctor will even say he's not gaining enough weight but don't STOP! You can always put the formula in your breastmilk like a protein shake so he's getting more calorie. Breastfeeding is hardAF & I always think I'm not making enough for 2 but I am. Try this tea, it got my supply up when it slowed down for a bit & it doesn't taste bad. I got it from Amazon.

& you can also get an SNS System so you can still put him at breast while formula feeding until you're satisfied with your supply, you can find those on Amazon too. 😊

it gives time hun dont give up

you make enough.. nurse on demand. cluster feeding is real, you're also the baby's pacifier

Thanks y'all! I promise this really helps. I just felt so bad about giving him formula but that's when he was happiest. Breasts were so swollen I couldn't make a nipple anymore. I'll definitely use all those tips. @dang_dridri @ashleymonae @rene_74 @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom @maygi0221 @chinue

@mrscrayton, no problem. Just give it time. 😊
