Breastfeeding / Pumping breast milk

Hi mummies, FTM here. How long do you breastfeed or giving your breast milk to your little one? I'm having trouble breastfeeding / pumping, so I'm curious and also afraid if I give my little one only formula milk, people would judge me. Of course, I'm trying my best to feed the breast milk. If you have any tips using the breast pump, please share!

I was a low supply mom too. My boy had to be given formula just aft 3 days cz he was admitted to NICU due to severe jaundice and I didn't have enough to pump, hardly anything even in the first week. I was so depressed and tried all sorts of things to increase supply and tt made me gain so much weight due to all the lactation bakes. Still no progress till I tried Legendairy Milk supplements. More than what I cld get before tt but still not enough to satisfy my boy so I still supplemented with formula for some feeds. but I had to stop pumping/breastfeeding once I went bck to work cz being a teacher I hardly have time to pump at work. and the stress frm work affected my supply once more even tho I was still on the supplements. So I just gave up at 6 months. Still feel guilty but I consoled myself tt my boy is still growing healthily, still within the top 75 percentile for growth even tho I cldnt give my milk. Told myself I've alr tried my best. So pls dont stress yourself out. Give whatever you can and ignore whatever ppl say ok!

Nope lactation bakes did not work for me. It really depends on individual. For me Legendairy Milk supplement worked. For this, it's a trial and error at first. I had to try several different bottles first before I cld find the one that worked well for me (Cashcow and Lecithin). Pricier than lactation bakes but at tt pt of time, I'd do anything to try increase my supply for baby.
