I am so depressed!! I am trying my hardest to bring in my milk... and I’m not even producing an ounce anymore!! I wanted nothing more than to breast feed my baby. She is almost three months old. I feel like I am failing her. I don’t know what else to try!

I’ve tried pumping like crazy, every time she eats.

Mother milk tea

Showering in a warm shower

Warm compresses

Massages

Nursing vacations

Multiple different pumps!

Drank a beer

Been to WIC to get help

Been to lactation apts, have another one upcoming

Bathed with my daughter and tried to feed her at the same time

My daughter just gets so frustrated at the breast! She pulls away and cries, latches on again and pulls off to cry. I’ve tried different positions tried pumping before feeding her to start the let down for her.... my milk production is just dribbles of milk now😫 I thought it was if I empty the breast the milk will continue to come in?! It’s a lie💔 I’ve went as far as breast feeding my friends baby due to her latch being stronger than my daughter... it helped for that night. Brought my milk in, and she was content. Yes my friend knew... she recommended it. I felt so accomplished. And then the next day my daughter just refused to latch!!!🥺 PLEASE advice!!! I’m so lost... I feel so hopeless !!! I want to be able to feed her like I did when she was a couple weeks old. She was so content and happy and it felt so amazing to be able to nurse her! Please do not shame me for nursing my friends baby. I am willing to try anything to give my daughter my breast milk! Place yourself in my shoes before you decide to be harsh and judge me. I’m so desperate and depressed about this. Please only leave kind comments or advice💔

Update: Is it even possible to increase my supply still? I don’t even give my daughter the milk I do get because it’s not even an ounce together from both sides. I get so depressed that I just don’t even see the point of adding it to her formula Bc it’s not enough to feed her just alone. 😒

UPDATE! I pumped a little over an ounce today!!! Yes it doesn’t seem like much, but considering I’ve been getting only enough to barley cover the bottom of a bottle... it’s an amazing accomplishment for me!!🤗 Only differences I have made is going to only a manual pump, pumping 30 minutes each side, drinking A LOT of water, and I increased my calorie intake. So if any other mothers are struggling... DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! It IS POSSIBLE! I am hoping i will keep increasing... and I will update again ! Breast feeding is sooo hard but it is sooo rewarding ! I am excited to keep trying just as hard and to see my results ! 🤗🤗
