breastmilk milestone for me 💕

I am not posting this to brag. And to most of you this may not be much at all to you. I am posting this because I am super proud of myself and encourage others to not give up. almost 200 oz frozen breast milk I NEVER thought I would get here. My baby is 2.5 months old and for the first 2 weeks of her life she was strictly formula fed, I had to around the close pump my milk and DUMP it every single bit down the drain due to a series of medications I was on. I honestly did not think I could do this, and constantly got discouraged from family members that she wasnt getting enough milk or was too dependent to my breasts. and even got comments "its not worth it" and "formula is so much easier".. not going to lie, I wanted to give up so many times, especially during her cluster feeding stage. I am the first in my family to breastfed, so they dont understand. I as well have a 4 yr old who needs my attention, whom was only formula fed which was completley fine. I am super proud of myself and hope and pray I can continue my breastfeeding journey but if not, I know fed and loved is whats best 💕💕
