Help!!

Hi there,

I started using formula about 2 months ago since my doctor told me that my daughter wasn't gaining enough weight.

Everyday it would seem that I was getting less and less milk. I would breastfeed her every time before giving her any supplement. Breastfeeding was getting very frustrating since it seemed like my daughter was just getting upset every time that I would try, so I slowly stop trying.

Today I basically depend completely on formula and I'm lucky if i can pump half an ounce of breast milk in a whole day!! My daughter is now 3 1/2 months old and drinks about 4-6 ounce of formula every 2-3 hours.

Is there any chance that if I keep pumping every 2 hour my milk supply would increase at this point? What can I do to get more milk, I really want to breastfeed!!
