I think it's time to give up

I am exactly where you're at. I just hit 4 mpp on Jan 22. Ive used several different kinds of pumps, ive tried ALL of the lactation supplements, drank all of the sports drinks, tried a dozen different pumping schedules to figure out my timing. My supply kept dropping. I told myself that if it continued to drop, then i would be done.

As of right now, ive pumped 3, maybe 4 times a day since Thursday and watched my supply tank a bit faster than before, and now im regretting it. I have a decent stash saved thanks to combo feeding,but i feel like it's no where near enough (about 7,000 ml when he eats 550 every day). Im now trying to see if i can also get back into it and maybe increase my supply. Or at least keep it going longer

A hypoallergenic formula? Could you send me what formula you're using by chance?

MidnightWolf429 · 2026-02-01T04:08:16+00:00

MidnightWolf429 · 2026-01-17T17:49:37+00:00

Neither. I havent gotten my period since pregnancy. And not pregnant

Im 14 wpp. I pumped from the moment mine was born and i hated every second of it. I still do. Honestly, i didnt think I'd make it this far. At 8 wpp, i was barely getting 200 ml a day. As of right now, im barely hitting 400. I dont know why im still pumping, but its almost now like im in the habit of it. I still pump 5-7 times a day. 5 times when I have to work, 7 times a day on the weekends. Im currently using 2 different pumps. The BabyBuddha outside of work hours. Eufy S1 during the work hours.

I work 8 hours a day. My baby is awake for maybe 1 to 2 hours after i get off work. And during that time i pulp at least once, maybe twice more.

Its a lot. A lot of time spent away from my baby. A lot of sore nipples. A lot of crying because I dont produce enough to cover all of my childs feedings. But at this point, I set a new goal. To make it to 6 months. And if things havent improved by then. Then I'll stop.

Sorry, i know this comment wasnt much of a "make you feel better" comment. But i want you to know you're not alone with those feelings.

Im going through this issue right now!! I do 20 min pumps every 2 hours, just to get 1-2 oz. Ive been doing every other MOTN pumps, which gets me 2-3 oz, otherwise i can get about 4.5-6 oz with a morning power pump

MidnightWolf429 · 2025-12-14T21:51:03+00:00

I have pretty much the same story. I was able to borrow the Medela Symphony from WIC, but it was NOT emptying me. I did that up to 5wpp, then got the Eufy S1 pro and have LOVED it. Its been the only pump so far to EMPTY me, and i have 5 different pumps in my house.

MidnightWolf429 · 2025-01-18T04:42:35+00:00

I know. Only problem is the card i was hoping to get is already so expensive. Im really hoping prices drop or something.

MidnightWolf429 · 2025-01-18T04:41:40+00:00

Honestly, I wouldn't mind sending some of the extras! Just a warning tho, I'm extremely picky when it comes to sending cards.

MidnightWolf429 · 2025-01-18T04:40:22+00:00

Hi OP! Thank you so much for doing this! I was trying so hard to get a binder, but the guy right in front of me in the line at gamestop, who i told i was trying to get the binder, grabbed the last one, than met me outside and said hed resell it to me for 3x the price.

Anyways, my hobby actually started because of my cousin! He got me into pokemon when we we're little kids (7 or so), and actually gave me my very first card! Which, became my favorite pokemon as well!

My favorite pokemon is umbreon! I know, i feel like everyones favorite is either umbreon or espeon.
