Every day I struggle with the idea that my son isn’t getting enough breast milk even though I’ve read practically every article out there and it all points to him being okay but idk I’m still insecure??

Maybe it’s bc he was still jaundiced almost a week after being born or maybe it’s bc he wasn’t (isn’t?) gaining weight like he should’ve the first few weeks. It took him 3 weeks to get back to his original weight and he is now 5 weeks but hasn’t been measured or weight since and I’m just sooo paranoid that I’m not doing what I should.

I drink tea and take supplements and even homemade lactation smoothies everyday just to make sure that my supply is okay but I can’t say I’ve ever felt a “let down” and I don’t think my breasts have ever been engorged either.

Part of me wants to give up and just do formula already but it’s expensive and I’m the only one with an income right now since my husband hasn’t had a job in 2 months.

I’ve read about maybe supplementing with formula just to top him off after feedings but I know I’m going to get shamed by my family who will see it as me not being woman enough to care for my child.

I love my baby sooo much and I wanna make sure he’s well taken care of but idk how to get rid of this feeling that I’m enough😢

Anyone out there with this problem?
