Milk supply different with each LO??

XP from 0-3 Just curious if your milk supply is different with each LO or not? I had a super low supply with LO1 and wondering if that will be different this next time around. What was your experience?? TIA.

The LC told me that your supply is greater with each subsequent time you have a baby. She said that even if you have trouble with supply for the first baby, you could still be fine with the 2nd baby because you will have more milk than the first time.

I think so.  I know that with my first LO, I had a hard time with pumping what I needed when I was at work.  Things were better with my second LO and my output was better at work with my second.  My milk also came in faster the second time around.

I had a low supply with ds (older child) due to his "lazy sucking."  I had to pump and supplement many times a day.  My supply is plenty with dd (2nd child).  She's a better sucker too.

I have a friend who had a GREAT supply with LO#1 and could only last 6 weeks with LO#2.
