Trust yourself! Lactation consultants can only tell you what is average. I sent daycare a lot more than 12 oz of milk. My first was drinking three 8 oz bottles per day for a while! I know this is so hard. I am a mom of a singleton and then twins, and I put so much pressure on myself to breastfeed. Please know that there is nothing wrong with supplementing with formula.

As for sleep training, I was in the same boat with my twins. When they turned 6 months, I felt like I was going to die if I didn’t get more sleep. Our pediatrician helped me feel better about sleep training and we finally let them cry it out. We are were all so much happier when we were getting some sleep!

Good luck mama – you got this!!
