Any way to continue breastfeeding?

My baby is only 2 months old and i am not able to produce enough milk for my baby. I can’t even pump out 3ml :( It all started when i was ill when baby turned 1 month. Super ill had to take medication. simultaneously taking fenugreek to help with breastmilk. But later found out that fenugreek is not helping me to increase, instead reducing milk flow. That’s when i googled and realized fenugreek does not work for all and i am one of them. I tried power pumping for 3 days and still the same, I could only get few drops the entire day. Any tips? Can i still continue breastfeeding? Please help a desperate mom 😭😭😭

Unfortunately yes, fenugreek does not work for everyone. You have to be consistent in pumping regardless the amount. It’s not magic, it won’t miraculously work overnight. Drink more water or soups, eat well and pump regularly without missing any sessions. Cover the pump, use your phone while pumping. The more you stress, the worse it gets. I learnt it the hard way, so now I just attach, cover and use my phone. Take sunflower lecithin to thin out your milk. Can try pumping after a warm shower.
