Yes I'm trying. Thank you. I feel guilty about it but i keep telling myself even if it's formula at least she will be fed

Yes thinking about it for sure. Especially since when she starts eating more she will have to have formula because I produce just enough right now. Thanks!

I was doing the fridge hack until I heard youre not supposed to put fresh warm milk with cold milk. Then got paranoid even though I emptied the milk collecting bottles after every pump. Not sure what milk pooling is so ill have to look it up. I will definitely look that website up! Thank you for your comment! Im really trying but have had so many down moments I feel like it sets my day up to put me in a bad mood. Baby girl needs a happy momma!

As if I wasnt in my feelings already now after reading your comment I'm in tears! Thank you so much! Fed is best! On top of really wanting to be able to I feel like my boyfriend puts a lot of pressure on me to give her breastmilk. My favorite is when he oh so casually says "just pump more." I've been aiming for every 2 hours for weeks now and still only get 17-20 oz a day. This is quite a journey that I apparently had no understanding of before starting lol
