I’m 4 weeks pp and had an emergency c section. First 2 days after delivery I was in so much pain and also couldn’t produce milk so we had to introduce formula early on. First 2 weeks my body was recovering and I still couldn’t produce enough to keep up with baby’s needs. Now it’s 4 weeks and despite trying to pump, breastfeed, eating what people recommend (eg. Oats) I’m unable to increase my supply. People say pumping more helps but the more I pump the less I get in each session, like 10 ml which is disheartening. Also I have somewhat started resenting breastfeeding I think because my baby gets fussy and seems so distressed when I try to breastfeed since he’s hungry and the milk supply is slow as compared to. Bottle. Feels like I might not be able to do this ever, would love any tips and advice on how to get out of this hole.
