Hello, I am a mom of 2 under 2. My breastfeeding journey has been a struggle. I attempted with my first baby and I couldn’t keep my supply up. With this baby I was doing so good up until yesterday. I was over supplying and exclusively breastfeeding. Yesterday and today I’ve only been getting 2-3 ounces between both breasts. I’m trying to stay positive. I enjoy being a mom to my kids. I also have 1 dog and they are very loving. I have an amazing support system and family. I wouldn’t trade anything I have for the world.

Hello nice to meet you and welcome to our beautiful community 
I hope things go better with your milk supply.
I know it can be a bit discouraging when you’re not producing enough milk. I exclusively pumped for my baby. They were days I did not have enough milk and I have to supply with formula. At the end of the day, the most important thing is that our babies are being fed.
I’m glad that you have a very supportive family because that is very important 
2 under 2 sounds like a lot of responsibility, but I’m happy you have a village to help. Pumping and breast feeding is so much work it’s hard not to let the stress get to you. Milk dips come and go, if you have to suppliment with formula there’s no shame. Fed is best. And it sounds like you’re doing your best to do everything for your babies. You’re doing great.
Hello lovely so excited you are here!!!
And supply fluctuations are totally normal I went through the same thing ! If you do decide to pump at all try a power pump that helped me immensely bring up my supply when it fluctuates
Hi mama! Welcome to the community! Try not to stress too much if your supply dips a little bit. If you are worried you can always add in a power pumping session to tell your body it needs to make more. Make sure your hydrated too. Not just water but electrolytes too. If your period is back it could be a sign it’s coming too
