Hay naman, mama, I hear you, ang hirap talaga ng exclusive pumping lalo na pag wala talaga kang support system at parang solo ka lang sa bahay, especially with your husband out and about with his family. Vent away kasi alam ko exactly kung gaano kasisira ng mental health yung setup na yan, at honestly, seven weeks in with supply concerns AND latching pain? Kailangan mo ng actual help, would you consider reaching out to a lactation consultant, either in person or online? Some of my mum friends din na nag struggle sa low supply at pain, and they said talaga, the combination ng stress, inadequate rest, at lack of support makes it 10x worse. For the cracked or sore nipples, Mama's Choice Nipple Cream helped a few of us, it's safe while breastfeeding at really soothes the pain, kaya mas comfortable kung mag-try ulit ng latching. But mama, please don't carry this alone, talk to your OB or pedia about what you're feeling at about the supply drop, kasi they might have practical suggestions based on your exact situation. You're doing so much, at it's okay kung formula is part of the journey for now.
