Hi, I'm sorry about this, I used to be in this situation and I almost gave up. The GP had to prescribe Domperidone for me. Which helped for the first few days. I make sure to drink lots of water, I eat granola with nuts almost every morning. I make sure she breastfeeds at night and bottle during the day. I also pump every 3 hours. This has been helping. Then again, you can do half breast milk and half formula. Always have in mind that our breasts are rivers not lakes. So it will definitely come. Wishing you all the best.
She never lost any of her birth weight and is gaining lovely, always got a wet nappy, I only pump as she wouldn't latch, I'm still pumping have been for an hour and I have an oz and a half x
@Miracle I tried her on formula and she drank ot absolutely fine however on her last might feed she throws it back up so I stopped and tried breast milk again but iys so slow I'm worried she won't get fed
Alternatively you can ring the health visitors for more advise, I can only imagine how you feel right now.
You might need to replace some of your pump parts

Have you had some support with her latch? There’s a great group on facebook that provide a lot of help and can do a latch check if you want x
Are you exclusively pumping? You don’t have to increase volume of Breast milk like you do formula because it’s nutritionally different. How are nappies/weight gain x
