So your baby drinks formula now? Why do you want to go back to breastfeeding ?

Yes he’s been on formula since one week he was born. Initially there was a latching issue and I was in major pain too - already saw the lactation consultant and all. Since then I have been expressing breast milk and supplementing with formula. My breast milk wasn’t much to begin with. During that period I was having some issues and was shifting houses during my confinement, so I pumped less and less. Eventually my supply dipped. My baby is 1.5 months now and fully on formula (no judgements, please). Every day I feel defeated that I don’t give breast milk to my baby. Donated breast milk is out of the question. I’m now pain-free and well, so would like to go back to breastfeeding, though not fully. But I’d like to see my supply increase.
