I was invited to write a guest blog for Attachement Living in honor of World Breastfeeding Week.
August 1 began World Breastfeeding Week. We all know breast is best, and we recognize the value of the breastfeeding relationship. Even formula cans remind us that breast milk is best. But what about when it doesn't work?
I wanted to breastfeed. I planned for it. I looked forward to it. I bought the books, went to La Leche League, and met with a wonderful lactation consultant before my daughter was born all in hopes of circumventing the issues that can come from PCOS and hypothyroidism. I took the appropriate medications and learned about the ways to increase supply. I went in with an attitude focused on success.

I read your story about World Breastfeeding Week and I could completely identify with you. I gave birth this past July and soon realized that I have insufficient glandular tissue. I've been reading online to see what I can do to increase my current supply for this baby & future babies. Do you plan on trying to have more children? Will you try to breastfeed again?
