Give up pumping

Mummies, I’m 2.5 months pp. first confinement nanny discourage me to pump/latch, which wasted my first golden week. Now I’m only pumping 15-20ml per breast. Can’t seems to increase, and kept decreasing (from 20-30ml per breast). Shld i give up? I’ve tried everything ( food, fluids, fish, soup, pumping every 3 hours etc..) I’m tired n super disappointed already. And my helper asked me “mam, why ur milk so little, I used to be overflowing” which makes me more depress 🥺🥺🥺

Hi momma! Dont be discouraged! Direct latching help stimulates milk production. Set pumping schedule on time and consistent as much as possible. The way you think also matters, what you think attracts. My milk supply decreases over period of time some factor is my pumping sched not met on time and sometimes mess up due to work. LO is turning 11 months had him exclusive breastfeed for 6 months. I stashed milk for him when i went back to work but he's quite a drinker and I run out of stash. I heartbrokenly had to do mix feed. Recently my pump output is decreasing but I make sure to feed him directly whenever I'm back from work (night till morning). There are days I wanted to give up, but this gold liquid tho limited is free, healthy, beneficial and best that I could give to my child. Keep fighting mama! We can do this!!! ♥️ God bless you!
