I’ve tried it all under the sun - literally, you name it I’ve probably tried it. While my milk supply increased with pumping, meds, and supplements, I’ve never been able to produce enough. Don’t let the guilt get to you, it’ll mess with your mental health. You’re doing what you can, and everyone’s going to have different thresholds as to what they can handle. Try (it’s hard, I know) to flip the script and feel good about what you can produce, like instead of “shit that’s all I made?” Mentally (or outloud) say “my body’s amazing, it’s doing its best to nourish my baby!” And if you stop pumping because it isn’t worth it, that’s ok too! Don’t let other people make you feel like you aren’t doing a good job because your journey looks different from theirs.
Thank you guys!!!
I recently had a 104 fever due to haven a clog in the one boob which cause my milk to go down a lot and when pumping I was barely getting anything from that boob what I found to help with bring my milk back was latching him and allowing him to suck/drink directly from the breast then pumping a little later on
