Colic is Destroying My Milk Supply

To start off with, I’m exclusively pumping and it’s not going well. My son is 8 weeks old and was never able to breastfeed correctly after being born 5 weeks early and a 2 week NICU stay. I currently try to pump about 6 times a day but I’m failing miserably.

Around 7-9 o’clock at night my son starts screaming inconsolably until around 2-5 in the morning, and theres just no cause other than colic. It’s impossible to pump while I’m dealing with that and then I’m so exhausted when I can finally go to sleep that I end up sleeping so long it’s now been 9 hours since I’ve pumped last. I’ve been so torn on switching to formula while I’m still producing but I’m scared this is going to dry me up before I can even make the decision 😔
