...please don’t discount the power of still being your baby’s human pacifier. Thanks to my lovely genetics and some anatomical issues, I will likely never produce enough breastmilk for my child (despite daily power pumping, endless supplements, etc.). Every feeding is twice the work with going to the breast for 15-30 minutes and then feeding formula by bottle. There’s so much guilt I have with not being able to produce enough, and my envy grows daily for those who breastfeeding came easy or you’re an overproducer. But we’ll prevail, still building our bond through me being her paci, whether or not enough breastmilk comes out ❤️

For other under producers, you are not alone - some of us may get there, others may not. But it’s not about us anymore ❤️
