I am going back to work on 2 weeks and I am currently suffering with my supply ( it has completely tanked due to baby blues, being alone since my partner is out of town for the last 3 weeks and will be for the next 2 more, stress and inconsistency)
I am getting back into my rhythm and schedule but I am not getting empty, my breast feel heavy and swollen even after pumping, I am massaging while pumping, they start to feel empty then after a few minutes feel heavy again but no milk will come out, then the left breast is clogged but I have MULTIPLE clogs and don’t know how to deal with them! please help, any advice and or information is greatly appreciated. baby is 7 weeks and i don’t want to have to give him formula!

Have you tried seeing a lactation specialist? If you have health insurance it should be covered. Look up The Lactation Network - they will connect you with a lactation specialist in your area and take care of all the insurance stuff for you!! I was able to have one come to my house and it was so helpful - and she came within 2 days of my reaching out to The Lactation Network. Highly recommend!
