[quote=Anonymous]Op, please don’t tire yourself by engaging in all the posts here. Take what you need from others posts, answer questions if you want, but you are spending precious little time justifying that you don’t want to use formula and whatever else - you don’t need to do that. You are not failing. Newborns are so hard. A tiny newborn with any extra challenges is even harder! Your feelings are totally valid and normal. The most important thing to know is that you’ve got this! The second thing is to figure out if there is any way for you to get some help, even just for the next two weeks, paid or family/friend. If you can get some help, consider trying to go one 4-5 hour stretch/day without pumping, let someone else feed the baby, and try to get one longer stretch of sleep during that time. 4 hours to sleep while someone else is caring for the baby may be very helpful, and one stretch like that shouldn’t hurt your supply. You can do this![/quote]
