Not mad at anyone or anything but there were a few moms on here basically saying that my supply wasn't going low and it made me feel like I didn't know what I was talking about or didn't know what was best for my son.. talked to his doctor and a lactation consultant and turns out I am running low.. I was advised to let him still nurse for comfort reasons but formula when he hungry because he's not getting anything from me.. I feel like I failed him in a way but it's just hard when I'm pregnant too...

My milk stopped completely at 10 months. I started formula when she was 8 months. Took me 2 months to get her to finally take the bottle while awake. I dream fed her (when she was asleep)
@beckysmommy22, thank you! It's still so sad for me though! 🙈
@gypsy.soul2, thanks! I don't think it'll go up again.. he was nursing constantly and lost weight which is why we went to formula and nursing.. it wasn't too bad for me until I got pregnant again...
I know how you feel. I felt like I let my daughter down. I got sick and had to undergo a bunch of testing and was unable to breastfeed or pump. I lost my supply but once I switched to formula, she was like a whole new baby. Started sleeping through the night because she was finally satisfied. Hang in there!!!
it happens. maybe with him getting the boob when he wants your supply will up again? I usually only consult with an IBCLC. don't feel bad! breastfeeding is hard
I fed my daughter for 18 months. I was able to stay at home. With my son, he gets enough when I nurse, but because I work full-time, I have to pump. I cannot pump much out. I am running out of the stuff I saved up on maternity leave. I feel like I am failing. But it is not true! Just like it's not true that you are. We are doing our best! @hkatedavis
