Pregnant and BFing

homemaker5711

For those ladies with BFP, any of you BFing? Are you having any issues or is baby getting enough. I'm 6 weeks and wondering if my 10 month old is more hungry. She has really ramped up the solids. What's your experience?

DS is 9.5mo, and still BF. I don't think I've noticed a change in supply yet, as he still seems content during the day. I'm only about 5 weeks though.

My experience when I was pregnant and breastfeeding (not this time around) was my supply did lessen to a noticeable degree, so unfortunately, it can happen. My nursing child was much younger at the time and we didn't realize the problem until I learned she had lost weight, so we ended up switching to formula.

There are ways to up your supply if you want to try them, though I do not have any resources to share, but google can help. Be sure you are consuming enough calories (I have long suspected this is the main reason for my drop in supply, I barely remembered to eat some days and morning sickness did not help).
