Hi mummaof2

Congratulations on your baby. It sounds like you've been working really hard and doing a great job of feeding her.

If you'd like support and suggestions to keep going, then you can get that here if you'd like. Others are right, also, that you can continue to be a caring, responsive and loving mother even after your breastfeeding relationship is over.

Have you tried calling the ABA helpline for more suggestions and support? 1800-686-268. There are probably lots of things you could try if you want to keep things going.
It's only natural that you're disappointed when things don't go as you'd hoped. It's true, though, that you've done well.

Are you able to express while you're at work? The key to increasing and maintaining supply is to remove as much milk from your breasts as possible. You can feed frequently, offer 3 or 4 sides (so switch back to the first side and second again if she'll take it); offer again 30 minutes after a feed; express between feeds and offer this as topups, and so on. What you can express out is rarely a good indicator of how much milk you have, and it is normal for breasts to feel softer by this point. Again, this doesn't tell us much about how much milk we have. The best way to tell how your baby is doing is by watching her. Has anyone explained to you how to tell whether you baby is feeding effectively and getting enough milk?
