Am I able to resurrect my supply or should I give up?
I’m 8 weeks PP with my first. I made enough milk for the first 2 weeks, now my supply has dropped to almost nothing (it takes me 3-4 sessions to produce an ounce).
My husband has been back to work for 2 weeks and I’m having an extremely hard time staying hydrated and getting protein while taking care of the baby. I cannot even pump until he gets home.
The stress and guilt of not producing enough is taking a serious toll on my mental health. With how inconsistent I’ve been with pumping, am I able to even get my supply back up at this point?
(I do put baby to the breast a few times a day in between formula feeding. I pump as much as possible when my husband is home from work. I’ve been eating oatmeal made with oat milk and I’ve tried the “liquid gold” supplement and “she’s flowing” drink mix with zero results)
