Anyone else mixed BM w FM cos low supply? Like 30ml per session or less cos no time pump cos solo.
Low supply, LO dont latch, had to pump but no time. Feel like giving up but guilty. How long u lasted?

Hi there, I started off with very low supply too, 20ml after like 30min pumping from both sides, in spite of eating things that supposedly help boost supply. Did mixed feeding too. Other mums in my EDD-month group chat were always posting pics of their two full bottles from each pump session. I was stressed and upset and wondering what was wrong with me. To make it worse, I kept getting painful clogged ducts even though my supply was low. I really felt like quitting, but decided to give it one last shot by engaging a lactation consultant. Basically her advice is to just keep latching. Very simple advice that I paid $$ for, hahaha, but it changed things. My supply increased after all the latching and has regulated such that supply meets demand. Long story short, I am now at the 1-year mark of exclusive breastfeeding. You may want to look up online on how you can get baby to latch. But, even if it doesn't work out, don't stress about it! And don't feel guilty, because you've tried your best for your baby! ♡
