My son was born at 32 weeks and I did everything I could to keep up my supply I power pumped tried taking all of the lactation cookies and teas but unfortunately I really wanted to ebf and we never made it that far I got my son one month on breastmilk after that I decided to drop the pumping as my output was nothing near enough I turned to a donor group that has helped my son tremendously as he’s allergic to every formula and dairy alternative there is I’ve tried everything goats milk, pea, hemp, almond , oat , oat coconut , seasme milk 3% milk
He is now 23 months and still going strong on donor milk and he still cannot handle anything else I feel a little ashamed that he has to drink donor milk as I feel like sometimes I could be taking away from a baby who needs it more but my son isn’t doing the greatest with food we are on a list for feeding therapy has anyone gone through this and can maybe give some Advice? His doctors want him on Breastmilk until at least 2.5 but it’s been so hard to keep him on it as we receive donor milk and not everyone is comfortable with donating to a toddler
