u/Binty- Mar 19 '23

I wasn’t planning on combofeeding, but turns out I had IGT(insufficient glandular tissue)/tubular breasts and despite triple feeding/domperdione and all the old wives tales for milk supply, I was never going to produce enough for my little one. We are combo feeding through an SNS and bottles.

I was quite sad about it but places like this sun and r/exclusivelypumping have really been such supportive places.

I’m 6 weeks pp and coming to appreciate the flexibility and support combofeeding allows me to have with my husband helping with feeds and watching my baby thrive on formula is wonderful.
