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 🥺🥺🥺

Jiayou mummy. It was the same for me too. I was quite clueless about breastfeeding and confinement nanny kept asking me to introduce FM to LO to bring his jaundice down as my initial supply is very low. Can’t even reach 10ml from the first few pump. But I didn’t want to give up. I’m doing mixed feeding now. LO is 10 weeks now, when I do power pump can yield about 50-60ml. Personally think whatever we can produce is better than nothing at all.
