Congratulations on your baby! Sounds like you've had a rough start, I hope things get easier for you soon. Are you getting plenty of rest and help at home?
You're working really hard to feed your baby, well done. Although it may not be as you'd hoped (yet), you are breastfeeding - and I think sometimes it counts for *more* when you're doing it under such difficult circumstances.
OP has already asked you lots of good questions. I'll add one more - is there any chance of retained products?
Also, some mums opt for donor milk from other mothers, rather than formula, which is an option you can explore if you'd like to.
All the best,
