Last chance before quitting

Long story short; my supply sucks and it's getting worse. I feel it's because he had a lip and tongue tie for the first 10 weeks of his life when I was trying to establish my milk supply. Anyway, my baby drinks 6 ounces every 3 hours, eats purees for lunch and dinner. I pump at 10 am and 1 pm at work. Today I got 2 ounces at 10am. We already supplement one bottle of formula. I'm failing and don't know why. I've tried everything and seen my lc several times. In Sunday all he did was eat sir and then just cried at my breast. I had to give him a bottle of formula. Do I just give up and go these last 4 months on formula? I have loved breastfeeding but idk if it's going to be worth it anymore. It's hard for me to do this since I thought I'd get to decide when I was done. He seems to eat enough at the first feeding of the day but that's it. The rest of the time he didn't seem satisfied.

Is your baby nursing? Or only having bottled breastmilk?

Can u clarify if your baby is 6month old?

@Winnie he's 8 months old

@Lisa nursing when I'm home. One bottle of breastmilk when I'm at work and one bottle of formula

How about bottle of pumped breast milk?

@Winnie I don't pump enough. When I pump at 10 I get 3-4 ounces. When I pump at 1pm I get MAYBE 2 ounces on a good day. Today I only got 4 ounces all together with my two pump sessions. He drinks 6 ounces every feeding.

Both of my kids self weaned from breastfeeding prior to 12 months, one at 6months and the other at 9 months. I always had a low supply so mix fed with 1-2 bottles of formula/day. Once solids were introduced, my supply dropped further and they seemed to lose interest and preferred the bottle over breast. Tbh, I’m glad they made the decision for me as it made the transition easy.

@Clare it makes it so hard for me because I wanted to decide when to be done. At least i wont have a toddler trying to breastfeed. It was my first time breastfeeding and I loved it and didn't want that bonding time to be over yet
