Give up pumping

Mummies, I’m 2.5 months pp. first confinement nanny discourage me to pump/latch, which wasted my first golden week. Now I’m only pumping 15-20ml per breast. Can’t seems to increase, and kept decreasing (from 20-30ml per breast). Shld i give up? I’ve tried everything ( food, fluids, fish, soup, pumping every 3 hours etc..) I’m tired n super disappointed already. And my helper asked me “mam, why ur milk so little, I used to be overflowing” which makes me more depress 🥺🥺🥺

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

I’ve asked the lactation nanny (from Gleneagles) same thing she asked me to do. But as my LO grumpy during the day time.. I missed a few pumping sessions.. 😔
