Small gain is still a gain

I’ve been beating myself up (literally as well as figuratively, I’ve had to squeeze the hell out of my breasts to get rid of some persistent clogged ducts) not being able to produce enough for my baby...she’s just past two months and I’ve still only been able to pump about an ounce and a half total between my two breasts each time, so she’s being supplemented with formula. 😢 Had what seemed like a tiny menstrual period and my supply dropped to where I was only pumping 3/4 of an ounce 😱 but it came back up to 1.5. Supplement pills, hot compresses, pumping after feeding, the whole nine yards. Felt like nothing was working and I was just sore and tired all the time.

Finally this morning... I broke the two ounce line!! It’s not much but an increase is an increase, so I’ll take it! Fingers crossed I can keep making more for her! 🤞
