Combo feeding
I’m not able to produce enough for my baby. I mentally know that that’s ok, nothing wrong with formula. But my heart is so sad for my baby and me. Any words of encouragement would be really appreciated.

I was doing both at the beginning and then one weekend worked really hard on increasing supply by pumping extra after feeds and couple super pumps a day and after that it was just boob! But any breastmilk is good for them so even if you cannot increase it you are doing great and what’s best for your baby x
My sister had to do this with her first baby. It is soooo difficult. 🥲 But it all comes down to hormones. Estrogen promotes prolactin production, so, if you want to boost your supply, then eat foods that increase estrogen. :) https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/3-ways-increase-estrogen-naturally
Latch, eat and hydrate. I felt the same way at 3 months. By 5.5 months I went completely dry 😪 Good luck mama
