Help! I am having a really hard time having a letdown at night. I’ve helped overcome these issues in the past by deep breathing, focusing on baby, happy thoughts and nipple stimulation.

But now none of it is working! I’ve had to pump like three times to get my letdown to start and then transfer over to baby. Last night he suckled for like 20 minutes better my letdown happened (I’m sure the letdown didn’t happen because he never stopped lightly suckling)

My doctor said maybe a fennel supplement would help. Has anyone tried that? Any other tips? I’m also considering just weaning night feeds and moving to bottles at night and continuing on with breastfeeding during the day.

Thanks!!

Ps yes I am extremely tired and stressed all the time. I am in school, work and have three kids haha so unfortunately none of that can change. 😭
