So ladies..... My baby girl (first child) was born on 11/15/18. She is so beautiful!!!! Unfortunately she was born with a front lip tie so she couldn't latch correctly, so I had to pump from the beginning. ☹️ But I would do anything to feed my baby girl. We couldn't get her lip tie fixed right away so she got used to the bottle. I tried to feed her directly on the breast but she had to have a shield and still didn't really know what to do so I fed her for awhile on the breast and then pumped and fed her more until she was full..... That was working great....... Then I went back to work...... My supply dropped from over 20 oz a day to 2 1/2 oz a day in the mater of 3 weeks.

Unfortunately baby girl went to the ER on Wednesday night and was diagnosed with Influenza A. She turned 3 months old on Friday, but I was so worried about her fever that I forgot to pump since I wasn't producing enough for her to eat a full meal any ways. Well my husband and I talked about it and I am giving up pumping because I have been beating myself up over not being able to produce enough for her anymore.

Please help me.... Give me advice on how to get over the hurt of not being able to provide food for her from my own body.

I know formula isn't a bad thing, and it's giving her food and substance to grow, but its still hard.
