Erin, where in Toronto are you? I'm just south in Mississauga. We could meet, and then you could say you've personally met someone who tried when they ran into issues. My milk "came in" about a week and a half after birth. I did the lactation aid, I did cup feeding, I tried pumping (double and single), I used fenugreek, blessed thistle, and mother's milk tea. I've seen 4 different LC's! I'm now only offering the boob after a full bottle of formula and when she still seems fussy. She only accepts it for less than 5 min now. I think I gave up a few days ago.

You've done great. I hope for your sake, you continue to do great. I agree with the comments about the antidepressants. I know there are some that can reduce supply. I don't know if that's the issue, or if it's just a mental thing. If it's just a mental thing, I can try to be a cheerleader for you. You know the BM is the best for Maia, and it is easier than dealing with bottles and powder and water and all that stuff. I wish I'd been able to continue.

Side note....Emily has the same exact outfit as Maia in the top picture
