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 🥺🥺🥺

my milk supply is low too and i stop pumping at around 3 months. every pump is slowly decreasing til like 10-15ml(both breasts) so i guess its time for me to stop. doesn't matter if baby is BM or FM fed, really! at least your baby drank til your breastmilk right😉 my husband is being very supportive and told me not like baby got nothing to drink if i stop pumping/low milk supply, there is still FM so i can have more rest and can take care of my baby better! you did your very best to pump all you have to give your LO, you are doing great mama! jiayous!💪🏻
