I feel like I’m not doing enough for my girl, like my breast milk isn’t enough. She’s 5.5 months and is 25 percentile for weight, everyone comments on how petite she is and I just feel like I’m failing her.

I pump 2-3 times a day, plus breast feed on demand. She’s been waking up a few times at night and nursing to go back to sleep, she eats a 7oz bottle of pumped milk before bed but is clearly hungry just a few hours later. I try to soothe her back to sleep before offering the breast but most of the time she needs to nurse.

I see so many women on here saying how effective their babies are at nursing and they’re done in 8-12 minutes, but she often nurses for 20 min and we go on both breasts.

I can satisfy her, but she’s not sleeping through the night and starving in the middle of the night. I pump first thing in the morning and at night time when my husband gives her the bottle

I’m really considering combo feeding with formula, but I’m just so scared to. We’re so close to exclusively feeding breastmilk to the 6 month mark, but I’m so so tired. I’m so consumed with my supply, scared to diet, drinking crazy water including hydration multipliers and eating milk cookies.

It’s all so overwhelming and my husband just doesn’t get it. I feel like I have some PPA/PPD stuff going on but I can’t go on meds till I’m not nursing anymore so I’m just feeling very defeated right now
