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 🥺🥺🥺

hello mummy, don't be discouraged and don't give yourself too much pressure whether to pump or formula feed. I'm a first time mum and do not have enough for my baby too so I just do mix feeding for her. don't need to care about other people's comment, some people are just insensitive and low EQ. my colleague also commented on my milk I just laughed it off and ignored her. all in all, do what's comfortable for you, happy mum = happy baby! After all, we all grow up being formula fed too 😊
