I've tried it all. More, less, this way, that. Everyone I meet has a cure or a new idea. Five months of disappointment, of struggle, of wishing and wanting it to be different. She got some breastmilk but in the end my jugs are more Kate Moss than Marilyn Monroe. Still she's a healthy, good-natured giggly girl. And as a new mom I'm finding there are plenty of other things to feel guilty about.

That sounds so much like my history with Collin. It made me a wreck. Hugh wasn't easy either.
I'm sorry you've been going through this, Amber. I too had difficulty breast feeding and tried all the above and ulitmately went to formula. There will always be plenty of things to feel guilty about. Try your best to pick only the really "good" one's to dwell on. :-) Again, so sorry you are dealing with this. I found there were many things I wanted to go a particular way that just didn't end up going that way. Take care and try to be easy on yourself.
