10 days PP. no milk.

I'm really frustrated, I had my c section 10 days ago and my milk hasn't come in yet. And it's starting to get to the point that my son throws fits when I breastfeed because he's not getting much :/ I'm worried that it will never come in.

I was never able to produce enough so I supplemented with formula.

Pump when you aren't nursing. That should bring your milk in. If breastfeeding is something you really want to do, you should be able to. It's very rare for women to not be able to breastfeed worldwide. From the research I've done, c sections can slow your milk coming in but as long as your baby is growing there is nothing to worry about. Just feed him whenever he wants and pump in between. I promise it's hard work but you CAN do it.
My daughter was a nicu baby and I had to pump a lot to bring my milk in.

don't give up. Although there is nothing wrong with formula feeding and I hate when woman say there is. In all honesty, not everyone can breastfeed you might not be able to.
