I'm out! !

After 5 weeks, I'm done, I'm out! Judge me if you want, but in out. I'll share my story since I'm sure in not the only one.

After 5 days of EB We went to the LC just to learn I wasnt producing enough so my chubba chubs was getting really angry and stopped latching. She suggested we supplement with formula, we tried the weird tube into a nipple shield so he didn't get confused with a bottle. That didn't work. So we went to bottle feeding and pumping. Here we are day 38 and I can still only pump an ounce. He eats WAY more then that. I increased my water intake, i pumped everytime I feed him, I tried power pumping. Then, I took to pinterest, I made lactation cookies, found out about fenugreek herbs, got 2 different teas, and aftet consulting a nurse friend learned about a prescription (originally intended for heartburn, but it had a side effect of increasing milk supply). After all of these I still Cannot produce more then an ounce. .. that's if I wait all night to pump. So with that being said, I'm done, I'm out. I applaud you ladies who have stuck it out, and I'm envious of the ones with a freezer full of milk. Good luck ladies. Enjoy your little humans! !
