Give up pumping

Hi momma! Dont be discouraged! Direct latching help stimulates milk production. Set pumping schedule on time and consistent as much as possible. The way you think also matters, what you think attracts. My milk supply decreases over period of time some factor is my pumping sched not met on time and sometimes mess up due to work. LO is turning 11 months had him exclusive breastfeed for 6 months. I stashed milk for him when i went back to work but he's quite a drinker and I run out of stash. I heartbrokenly had to do mix feed. Recently my pump output is decreasing but I make sure to feed him directly whenever I'm back from work (night till morning). There are days I wanted to give up, but this gold liquid tho limited is free, healthy, beneficial and best that I could give to my child. Keep fighting mama! We can do this!!! ♥️ God bless you!

Can I ask what was the reason for your confinement nanny to discourage you? And ask the helper to shut up and educate herself on why women can have low supply😠 If you are still visiting your gynae on the next checkup, get breastfeeding supplements, it helps to save my sanity. Currently I’m taking domperidone pills, and gel capsules from KISSUN brand. My supply went from super low to low 🤭 Still I’m very grateful And if you decide to go fm, that’s totally fine too. Bm isn’t the only good food that you will be providing to your child :) You well-being is just as important as your baby’s.

my milk supply is low too and i stop pumping at around 3 months. every pump is slowly decreasing til like 10-15ml(both breasts) so i guess its time for me to stop. doesn't matter if baby is BM or FM fed, really! at least your baby drank til your breastmilk right😉 my husband is being very supportive and told me not like baby got nothing to drink if i stop pumping/low milk supply, there is still FM so i can have more rest and can take care of my baby better! you did your very best to pump all you have to give your LO, you are doing great mama! jiayous!💪🏻

hello mummy, don't be discouraged and don't give yourself too much pressure whether to pump or formula feed. I'm a first time mum and do not have enough for my baby too so I just do mix feeding for her. don't need to care about other people's comment, some people are just insensitive and low EQ. my colleague also commented on my milk I just laughed it off and ignored her. all in all, do what's comfortable for you, happy mum = happy baby! After all, we all grow up being formula fed too 😊

Jiayou mummy. It was the same for me too. I was quite clueless about breastfeeding and confinement nanny kept asking me to introduce FM to LO to bring his jaundice down as my initial supply is very low. Can’t even reach 10ml from the first few pump. But I didn’t want to give up. I’m doing mixed feeding now. LO is 10 weeks now, when I do power pump can yield about 50-60ml. Personally think whatever we can produce is better than nothing at all.

Not sure if you are keen but can consider engaging Jessica from orientaljamu (IG). I was planning to BF for 3 months but she taught me ways to make my BF journey easier and I am 10 months in 😊 I BF and give my child formula because I started with low supply. At the end of the day , we want the best for our child and the intention is the key! JY mummy!!

Hi, try to relax..the more stressed up we feel, the less milk we produce…its not easy but i been there too…u need to ignore these people who make negative remarks…try to latch more and when u pumping your milk, relax, drink warm milk or milo. There is a massage technique too…can also try lactation consultant for advise..

Try Legendairy Milk supplements. I had v low supply too, had postnatal blues due to the stress of not being able to fully breastfeed. Baby was always hungry so I supplemented with FM. Aft taking the pills, my supply improved. Much better than taking all the lactation bakes etc.

why did your nanny discourage you? you should be pumping milk and increasing milk supplies by now. ignore them, babe and start pumping and latching your lil one. it will help increase your milk supply back again. jiayou mummy!

I would say listen only to the professional.. Maybe consult a lactation consultant?
