Babies: 3 - 6 Months

3 months today...supply dropping?

I EP and supplement with formula. I only get about 8 oz per day (even with oatmeal, More Milk Plus and PLENTY of water). Today, I'm barely getting an ounce total, even though both boobs are rock hard.

Is there a natural drop in supply around 3 months? Or am I just that lucky person whose milk magically disappears?

  • I also EP and supplement and I am having the same problem. I am barely getting anything. So far nothing has helped boost my supply. I also just got my first PP period so I am not sure if that is what is going on. It is extremely frustrating.

  • Same thing with me, I don't know exactly b/c I don't pump, I just nurse in the mornings (and sometimes at night) and I think I have next to nothing left, just by the way DS is acting. I've always had a low supply & had to supplement, but he's always been content enough with the morning nursing to fall back asleep for 45 minutes to an hour, but not the last couple days.

    I'm so sad about it, I wanted to hold on to that morning nursing session for, well, ever Wink

  • I had a drop, but it was due to bc issues....I was put on Reglan to increase my supply.  I was getting 1 oz total per pumping session and now I'm up to 4-5 oz so I think it's been pretty successful.
