Just me ranting. I've had one hell of a time breastfeeding and with my supply. Unfortunately it just wasn't in the cards for me. The last three weeks have been such a battle for me and breastfeeding. At first, my milk wasn't coming in (5 days PP), and baby girl dropped 10% of her body weight in 3 days. I ended up I in to supplement with formula. I saw lactation 4 times to help with painful latching, painful feedings, and even had baby girls frenulum evaluated by an pediatric ENT. After 1 week I was exclusively breastfeeding, then pumping, then supplementing. That left me with little to no sleep for almost 2 weeks. Boy was it exhauating and not to mention my nipples were extremely sore. I then began to just pump and not breastfeed due to painful, bleeding nipples. My supply was never great to begin with but with pumping I was only getting 1.5-2oz at a time TOTAL from both breasts. I was taking mothers milk tea, staying hydrated, eating a healthy diet, taking my prenatals plus fenugreek and eatingb oatmeal daily. My supply did not change at all! Now, baby girl is just over 3 weeks old and my supply went from 1.5-2oz to barley anything!! I'm so disappointed because I really wanted to breastfeed, and I tried so hard over these past few weeks to get things headed in a good direction, and I guess it just wasn't meant to be. Thanks for listening to my rant, and if anyone has ideas, suggestions, or encouraging words I would appreciate it. I just feel like a bit of a failure. Xoxo.
