I'm at the point of my bfing journey that I'm just done...if my milk dries up I don't think I'm gonna shed any tears. I'm done pumping, she's barely latches on to me and when she does it's a blue moon, I've eaten well, I've drank about 2 Brita water bottles and I feel like it's all for nothing. Yeah I know BM is superior to formula but what I do pump just not enough for her anymore.

I wouldn't stop pumping. I would give her formula and then let the breast milk build up in the freezer so she can have a few oz from time to time. It lasts a good long while in the freezer. Also, you could just donate what you're producing. Breast milk is also great for baby's skin so you could give her breast milk baths.

Did they give you sugar water at the hospital? They gave me some in a dropper and it helps them want to latch. You could try and make your own? I used it the first 2 or 3 weeks till he finally latched willingly every time

Boil some water and put sugar in it and let the sugar dissolve then use a dropper, I had one from the gripe water I bought, and put just a dab or 2 in their mouth and then go for the latch

Make sure it's cooled down though
