Should i give up breastfeeding?

Baby is just pass 1 month old. Confinement nanny has left and i do not have additional help (no relatives available and due to space and finances, unable to hire FDW). Husband works in office and mainly cares for elder child after work. Feeling overwhelmed as baby usually not willing to latch on as my supply is low. On average i need 3 pump sessions to get enough for baby's 1 feed. 1) Should i just stop attempting to breastfeed/pump? 2) Any suggestions for hiring help other than FWD and those who charge by the hr?

1) yes if it’s starting to affect your mental health and your caregiving.. sounds very stressful 2) do you mean not getting external help at all? i engage a nanny occasionally through apps. other than that probably establishing a routine would help you and bb

Yes i’m thankful to have found a nanny on the app that is experienced and had very good reviews. A lot of them are experienced mummies or even early childhood students. i look for her when i need few hours of relief from caregiving.

I suggest can do mix feeding. Feed BM and then add on FM for every feed. Breastfeeding took a toll on my mental so I just did whatever that made me feel happier. As long as baby is safe.
