Is your baby growing and thriving? You can breastfeed as long as you want and supplement with formula so your baby gets the best of both worlds. After trying for 7 months, you can try pumping to stimulate your milk supply, but the best stimulation is the baby's sucking. You just may be one of those people who don't produce a lot. Feeling guilty will just make matters worse -- worry and anxiety can effect your milk production. Relax, let your baby breastfeed as much as he or she wants, and make sure baby is getting enough total nutrition.

Are you eating properly, check out your diet. Drink a lot of soup from cooked meal ( with protein, vegetables and and greens) especially soup made from fresh coconuts.
That could help!!!
