I feel like a failurešŸ™

Luna

Anytime I try to pump, little to nothing comes out unless I’m engorged from being at work and not feeding her from the nip. Left makes WAY more than my right, so much to where my right looks happy and my left is looking sad 😭 I don’t know if it’s my body not responding to my Ameda pump or if its my milk supply, they say if she’s gaining weight and healthy (which she is) then there isn’t an issue but her healthy weight isn’t enough to satisfy my worries.

It’s been like this since after I had my wisdom teeth taken out on 4/26 (she’s 8 weeks old now) and I wonder if the anesthetic messed up my breastmilk supply? I’ve tried lactation cookies, mother’s milk tea, fenugreek, hot towels, massages, etc you name it I’ve tried it- all of which did nothing for my supply to be boosted, because I feel like I should be making more than what I am.. I’ve only pumped a total of 4 bags since I had her.

I literally feel like I’m failing her and I’m šŸ‘ŒšŸ½ this close to giving up and just feeding her on the Earth’s Best formula we have as backup..

ANY advice is helpful or tips, ANYTHING ladies, please help me out here. It is all appreciated ā¤ļø
