I’m Really Upset That I Can’t Breastfeed (please Help)?

My daughter is 6 weeks.I had my heart set on breastfeeding all through my pregnancy. I wanted to never have to feed her formula. Little did I know that it really DIDN’T come as naturally as I had hoped. Right after I had her, and the remainder of my time in the hospital, I tried to get her to latch on. I had numerous lactation consultants and nurses come and try to help, but she is just a stubborn baby. I tried using a nipple shield and even a normal bottle nipple. She would latch on, but would get frustrated when it didn’t start flowing immediately. She lost a pound in a day due to not getting any milk, and I had to supplement her with formula for her to gain her weight back. That killed me. I hated it. What I hated more was that she maybe only got under 10 bottles of breast milk because my milk dried up SO quickly. Its not totally gone yet, but no matter how much I pump, or how much Fenugreek I take, I can only get a few drops each time. Maybe enough to cover the bottom of a bottle. But I keep trying, hoping that it will suddenly come back. My doctor prescribed me Reglan, but I can’t take it because of the side effects and my anxiety. It hurts. I wish I didn’t feel so guilty. I know some moms just can’t, but I really didn’t want to be one of them. I think now I just really want to breastfeed because its the only thing left from the pregnancy (besides my beautiful daughter!). I loved being pregnant so much (well not the last few months), and I don’t want to get pregnant again for a while, but I guess I really don’t want to let it go. I want to breastfeed or even pump! This is a dumb vent, but I really needed to get this out.
