Breastfeeding & formula

My baby is 1week 2 days. I've been pumping literally around the clock, taking Fenugreek, eating my steel cut oats, mothers milk and lactation cookies. And going weekly to a breast feeding support group at Grossmont hospital.

I never pump more than 10-30 mls if I'm lucky. So I've had no choice but to supplement with formula. It makes me feel bad about myself that I can't produce more milk. I wish I could milk like a cow. I'd love to know if any other mothers are going through the same thing. Or have gone through the same thing 😞 I have a 2 year old son and the same thing happened with him when he was a newborn. My milk supply was just low and I had to supplement. And eventually switched to formula all together after 6-7weeks.

Thanks ladies.
