So frustrated

Sonia

I am struggling so hard this time with breastfeeding. When baby was born I thought we got the hang of it. Then there was a day where she slept a ton l, didn’t want to latch and had a bunch of super runny poops. Well two week check up comes around and she is now below birth weight so pcp wants us to supplement with formula to get her weight back up. Tried formula twice and both times she was super fussy afterwards. So I kept pumping to up my supply figured it just low and that’s why she didn’t latch. I was getting 5-6oz at a pump and so we started giving her 2oz of pumped milk after I fed her to help with the weight gain. And then I would pump some more. I reached out to a lactation consultant to see if they could help with the latch since it didn’t seem to be a supply thing. Well Almost a week has gone by and my supply feels even lower now! And now she definitely gets frustrated because not enough milk is coming out. I still haven’t heard back from the lactation consultant and I’m super frustrated that my body isn’t doing what I know it very well can do. I breastfed my second baby for his first year. With my first I didn’t go past 3 months due to scheduling but supply and latch weren’t a concern.
