Need to vent, lactation lament at 3am

3 months of ebf and I ended up dipping into my *very small* amount of frozen reserves. My daughter eats 16oz from the bottle daily while I work and its become harder and harder to keep up with the demand.

Today I tried to exclusively nurse to build the supply back up and it just seemed like she was never satisfied and I was only able to pump 3oz today! She nurses 6-10min at a time tops...I just feel like a failure and I worry that I might have to start supplementing. (No judgement of course to the mommas who use formula, etc.) This just has been a personal goal to ebf and I've managed through intense illness (me and her) without dipping into the "rainy day fund," but I just couldn't pull it off this weekend to build a supply for tomorrow, beginning of the work week. Disappointed and angry with myself.

Looking back on my meager supply, I am astounded that I managed to put away the little that I did given I can barely keep up now...sigh.

Thanks for letting me vent to the community.
