Hi all! I guess I just need to vent/hear from people with similar experiences. I am struggling emotionally. I have been nursing for almost a year now, and still nurse every AM, 3-4 times during the day (usually quick feeds for a snack or to start nap) and then every night to sleep. I’ve noticed my supply is definitely dipping with the introduction of more meals as well as the natural dip now that baby is almost a year old. I am really struggling with this. Tonight while trying to nurse her to sleep, she kept popping off and going crazy having fun, and eventually looked up at me and signed “more” and it broke my heart knowing she was still hungry and I had nothing left to give. My husband brought her up a bottle and she immediately fell asleep for him. I used to pump every night and stopped doing so about 3ish weeks ago, and I’ve enjoyed not pumping but I’m panicking about my freezer stash running out so soon if my husband has to keep giving her bottles. (I used to have around 700oz and had to donate it all prior to a big move, I was happy to help another mom but I have really struggled with losing this stash). I am also so emotional since having my baby, and I was already borderline too empathetic. I’m just feeling so sad and also unsure about what comes next/how to navigate this transition. Any advice/encouragement/similar experiences etc welcome. Thanks yall.
