So upset, I wanted to breast feed but my daughter isn't getting anything at all, I tried to use the breast pump and still nothing but like 3/4 drops in one hour so it looks like I have to formula feed 😔 or else she'll just be starving all the time....

Your milk just hasn't come in yet hun. Keep putting baby to your breast, hand express instead of pumping, you usually always get less when you pump
I just gave her supplement and she's sound asleep now, I'm not going to give up yet I'm going to keep pumping and putting her on me, she is only one day old, she lost 4oz but it's just the beginning. I just hope by next week I'll be able to produce enough
I just looked at your profile and it looks like your baby is less than a week. It can take up to 6 days for your milk to come in, and that's normal. You can supplement in the meantime, but keep putting her to the breast every 2 hours. That will stimulate your body to produce milk
If you really want to BF, keep trying. Like @keepingupwithhj said, you can supplement. Is your baby not gaining weight? Are you sure your pump is working right? Can you hand express any milk?
Use supplementation in the mean time, but KEEP TRYING! Make sure that you either pump or breast feed EVERY 2 hours. I made the mistake of not being persistent about it and i dried up. It will probably take a while, but don't give up!!!
My milk came in on the second day. Yours just hasn't come in yet. Baby doesn't need that much milk in the beginning anyways because their stomach is so tiny. Some people's milk takes a week or more. Just keep trying. Mine came in fast because I constantly put my daughter on my breast. Every two hours!
