hi, my baby is 6 months and suddenly my milk seems to be drying up and i don’t think i’m going to be able to provide for her for much longer (I’ve exclusively pumped until now) and i’m so sad about it 😭 I know formula is still great for her and absolutely nothing wrong with it, but i’m having a hard time accepting that i wont be able to feed her myself. Does anybody have any advice or words of encouragement? I feel like i’ve failed her even though the rational part of my brain knows that isn’t true

I felt the same when my milk supply dropped and had to start topping him up with formula. Mine was fairly early around 3 months but still felt horrible eventhough I know that formula is perfectly fine. I just kept repeating to myself that fed is best and that's what kept me going. Now he's 6 months I started weaning and he started fully refusing breastfeeding.
