I am a zero supply breast milk mum. Baby is one week. I try everything but really have no milk. I am depressed and feel ashamed of mysf. What should I do?

Firstly - a LOT of mums don't have enough supply, so do not feel bad about not being able to feed, it is not your fault if you have tried everything you could. Do not get into depression, do not starve your baby, it is not healthy for you or your baby for you to do either. Formula is not end of the world, yes breastmilk is better but it is also a question of what are the important things in life that matter and whether that benefit really matters that much - to put it bluntly, there is a much higher chance of getting hit by a bus than suffering from anything breastfeeding could have prevented. Secondly - have you tried all the ways to enhance supply? Water being the most important one, along with oats, fenugreek, etc (lots of material on this topic) - do not follow old wives tales of no-water, etc. you have to drink lots of water! thirdly - keep the efforts seperate, it might be you are not producing because baby doesnt know how to latch properly - try pumping as samantha suggested and keep that up, while keep trying to get baby to latch, so your body will keep trying to produce while your baby can learn to drink from bottle or breast.
