3 Months PP, I Think I’m Done

Hanging up the pump

Title says it all, it’s not what I wanted. My LO only latched a handful of times, I’ve worked with an LC, my best friend is also one and was there when I gave birth and for a few days afterwards. I even kept pumping for weeks after my baby started sleeping through the night to keep up with her. Dropped the MOTN pump last week because I desperately needed sleep and somehow my mental health is worse because of the supply dip. I can’t be present for my daughter, the pumping schedule and being there for her make it impossible to go do things. I’m miserable but I feel like such a failure.
