Sad about low supply - Insufficient Glandular tissue

[goddess25]

So I have been on here many times before asking for help in regards to low breast milk supply... I have tried pumping, herbs, medications and everything else you can possibly suggest. I have been breastfeeding and supplementing for 5 months but am still keen to cut out the formula, I have been seeing a lactation consultant lately and have now been diagnosed with insufficient glandular tissue.

I am pleased and also sad about this, pleased because I now know that there is nothing I can do about it this time around and sad because of the same sentiment. With IGT you can Breastfeed but generally always with the use of formula, I am worried that the next pregnancy will be the same.

I am desparate to BF properly but now know that I am in th 3% of women apparently who wont be able too, at least now i suppose i can chill out a bit there is nothing more i can try apparently to help.

If anyone out there has this problem and have tried something to help please let me know. Did you get pg again and were your breastfeeding issues just the same?

It does sound like you are unlucky enough to fall into that category hun but at least you know what you are dealing with. I think you need to accept that it's no one's fault and make peace with yourself so you can still be successful with your BFing. Supplimenting doesnt make you a failure. We all have different routes to success.

No real advice but I didnt wanna read and run xx
