So over the past 3-4 days I feel like my milk has all but dried out 😣 And just last week I managed to successfully go 24 hours on BM alone without a single formula top up, for the first time! I felt so accomplished, like ‘I got this!’

But the very next day the decline began. Baby wants to nurse every hour from like 3-7pm, and when he sucks after a few minutes I can literally feel that emptiness! Like he’s sucking on an empty bottle 😣 It’s so painful like my veins are being sucked dry! And he unpatched and starts fussing because he’s not getting any. One boob produces more than the other, and even when the lazy one dries up the other manages to produce droplets of milk. But definitely not enough for baby 😭 He gulps down 3-4oz formula like a starving person after I’ve nursed him for about 1/2 hour and I feel so so inadequate 😭

I drink lots of fennel tea, eat oatmeal and drink lots of water... I tried brewers yeast but it made me horribly gassy so that’s out. But none of these seem to be making the slightest difference! Why is this happening to me??? What can I do 😭
