Milk drying up
Show your support
My supply started drying up around 6 months so I mixed fed until 8 months and made the decision the pumping wasn't worth it anymore and switched to just formula. It felt like such a tough decision at the time, but looking back, it really doesn't matter in the long run. My bub is just as happy and healthy as she was when she was also getting BM. You have done amazing making it this far and whenever your BM journey ends, your bubba will be just fine xx
I feel you I struggled from the beginning at first I wasn’t making hardly anything and my baby had to get donor milk then I started producing milk but only enough to satisfy him per feeding never enough to put up extra then about 7 months I started drying up by 8 months I was completely dried out and I had to switch him to formula it definitely bothers you mentally but your not alone and you got this
Be proud I ebf for 4/5 weeks until my girl wouldn’t latch on anymore and trying to pump just didn’t work for me I was never getting anything out it’s so heartbreaking I wanted to bf until she was 1 but that stopped at 5 weeks now my milks drying up wish I could get it back as my girl now try’s to latch on but because nothings coming out she doesn’t stay latched 😭
I feel this 😢 I exclusively pumped from 6w pp and my supply started to drop around 6 months pp. struggled with the decision to stop for a while but called it quits at 8m pp but always wanted to BF for as long as possible. Sending hugs your way, it’s definitely a mental challenge to stop before you’re really ready to.
