Whats wrong? Boobs never feel full anymore!

The last couple of days my boobs don't feel like they are ever getting full even the least little bit.  For instance, I can't tell a difference between before and after DS nurses.  They've just turned into these empty hanging sacks!  What's going on?  Could this mean my supply has dropped?  I haven't felt the engorged feeling in a long time but being able to tell no difference is odd to me!  Help!!

  • That happened to me.  If DS seems like he's getting enough, that's all that matters.

  • Are you about to start your period? Mine usually dropped before that, but once I got regulated, I didn't feel full very much.

  • I haven't had a PP period so far and DS is almost 5 months.  However, I've been having some crampiness the last couple of days and thought that it may be showing back up.  Hmmm...  DS has been very cranky today so that's why I was worried.  Also, DS and I had a stomach virus this weekend with horrible vomiting so I was hoping that didn't screw my supply up!
  • If you're worried, try drinking more water, eating some oatmeal, and pumping after feedings for a day or two.  But try not to worry too much.  :)

  • I've never really felt full ever with my last few babies, and I never had supply issues, my body just adjusted (still nursing my 20 m/o).

  • How long have you been nursing?  This happened to me as we approached the 9-12mo mark-somewhere in there I believe.  DD weaned herself at 14mos.
