[quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound just like me a year and a half ago, tears and all. My baby had trouble latching at first but even after she got the hang of it she continued to lose weight. I pumped for 4 months and never ever got more than one ounce per breast, and that was on a good day. And yes, I saw 3 LC's, used nipple shields, ate/drank fenugreek, oatmeal, etc like crazy,....you name it, I tried it. Nothing worked. My time with my baby got so much better once I gave up. I'm glad she got that little bit of breast milk, I guess, but was it worth it? Probably not. I later found out that my paternal grandmother had to use formula (that she had to make herself) with some of her children due to not making enough milk. Do whatever you need to do to get through these early weeks/months and do not feel guilty![/quote]
