Breastfeeding - Too poorly

Hi all,

I am really torturing myself. I had my second daughter via c section in January. I have very active Crohns Disease.

Lucy was a breastfeeding dream, a natural that latched really well from the first time. She’s a hungry baby and we’ve been through the cluster feeding them things got better.

Now, I’m really becoming aware that I think she’s not getting enough milk from me. She’s always hungry after being on the breast, so I topped her up with formula... for her sake.

Now it seems like my milk is just slowly drying up and she’s more hungry.

I think I need to accept defeat and completely formula feed... but the guilt is so bad. Am I a bad mother if I can’t breastfeed her? My eldest I had to do the same but at less than two weeks old. I’ve managed to get to nearly 5 weeks with Lucy.

So stressed!!

Thank you all 😊
