Y’all I need advice. So I’ve been breastfeeding my son but I’ve always had a low supply and he’s needed to have bottles and breast milk since about 3 ish weeks I’ve tried everything to get my supply up and I almost feel like it just keeps going up and down and up and down. I don’t know if I should just stop and start just formula feeding or if I should keep trying. Whenever I think about stopping I cry and get so upset because I love bonding with him and being able to comfort him but it’s just getting stressful ☹️

I just recently had to get my milk supply back up after I found out my Little was allergic to dairy. I had purposely decreased it once my pump stash was too large for my freezer. I tried a few things and found a product that worked really well for me. I will post a pic. Of course I also put myself on a pumping/nursing schedule and had to start waking up during the night to pump, also.

And on another note, don’t let breastfeeding stress you out. If you need to supplement with formula then do so 😁 nothing wrong with that. You can still continue to breastfeed and let your son get whatever your body produces.

Also, I used fenugreek and power hour pumping. It helped me some!

I'd say keep trying. There are lots of things out there that claim that they help with milk supply like mother's milk tea, star fruit, lactation lollipops and cookies stuff like that. I had very low supplies and continued to try for three months when I decided it wasn't going to work at all. I would also try to feed my DD then about an hour later go pump then feed her again when she was hungry then an hour later go pump then feed her again and so on. Little things like looking at your child hearing your child cry or even looking at a picture of a baby can help with milk production. I'll never forget shortly after my sister had her kids we were at a store a baby cried and it caused her to leak, LOL. It wasn't even her baby.

They’ve got this tea called mothers milk tea I’ve heard it’s good on helping your supply.

I had the same issue and had a really hard time calling it quits. I felt like a failure and a terrible mom. BUT once I did I was so relieved, felt guilty but relieved. I didn't realize how stressful it really was. I was much happier which in turned allowed me to enjoy my baby even more so!

Any amount of breastmilk is beneficial! You’ve got this mama- keep going.

Does anyone have any advice or been in this situation before? Long story short is I have to push my almost 3 year old in a stroller to get him to nap or sleep EVERYDAY. He doesn’t need the motion just the restraint because if not he’ll just get up and go. He never stops, he’s autistic and at this point I’m not sure what else to do. I’ve tried a weighted blanket and it helps him stay asleep but not get to sleep. Any suggestions would be amazing🙏🏼
