Giving up

Autumn
I'm giving up breastfeeding... when baby was only 2 days old, my lactation consultant said I was not producing enough... well, that hasn't changed. We had been supplementing with formaula. I have been pumping every 3 hours and no increase in milk supply. My baby no longer latches on due to nipple confusion (bottle then breast). We had tried sns but I need 6 hands to do it and baby doesn't do too well with it. Now that baby is 3 weeks old, and I am only pumping 2 oz over a 3 day period (I pump every 3 hours). I am giving up. I have tried mothers milk tea as well. No increase. I am sad and feel horrible about this decision. But 2oz every 3 days is not worth the work..
