Bummed about freezer milk stash

as I was reading about others stash I decided to check mine out and noticed I had 30 ounces :(.... My stash was pumped in August before I went dairy free so I don't want to rotate it in yet until LO tolerates it again...

Unfortunately I've struggled with LO's weight gain for 2 months... His dairy intolerance combined with my low supply didn't help any....

Now I supplement 1 ounce of formula after nursing and he's gaining awesome ....He's in the 8th percentile!! I just wish I could produce more... I've done it all and doesn't seem to help... I can pump 4 ounces in the am and 4 ounces ALL day after (like 1 ounce every pumping session)

Just bummed about it all I guess and wish I could pump so much more but it is what it is I guess...

Thanks for letting me vent ladies!

    I pump when I nurse which is every 2 hrs... I would every hr but due to low supply LO would get nothing if I did that...

    I am SO well hydrated & eat really clean so DK :(...

    Very true! Since having him I bounced back to dieting n working out so that's probably one huge factor that I didn't think of!!!! Time to consume more healthy calories

    HUGS. I'm struggling with this too. Our pedi told us at a 3mo weight check that she wasn't gaining enough, and we needed to start supplementing. I have no real advice for you, because I've tried pretty much everything there is to try, and can't increase my supply. But I know how you feel .
