Breastfeeding

I was determined to be breastfeeder of the century, I did all the research, Pinterest was my bestie, I got a manual, 2 electric breast pumps, and a freaking hakaa. I had all the right tools but no milk. I felt like such a failure. I literally tried everything the cookies, the teas, meditation, then finally I went to a lactation consultant. Who asked me if I had a breast reduction or any breast augmentation because I don't have enough mammary glands. Excuse?!?! What did she just say to me?

Right apparently I could breastfeed but needed to also supplement with formula because I wasn't producing enough milk. Oh, how crappy I felt. I wanted so bad to be successful at breastfeeding, but no that wasn't my story.
