Currently Breastfeeding Mommies

I'm only 6.5 weeks pregnant and noticed a major supply drop last week.  I've been working hard to restore it by eating lots of oatmeal, bfing and pumping a lot, and taking Metamucil once a day.  I have noticed my supply has gone back up and DD hasn't been so frustrated.  Anyone else experience this?  Hopefully I'll be able to maintain my supply throughout the pregnancy.  Our goal is to at least continue the our breastfeeding journey to a year, but I'd like to go beyond that if it is still working out for both of us.

  • I am currently breastfeeding and have definitely seen a drop in my supply. My goal was a year and I am about 11 days away from it. I am trying hard to make it by drinking a lot of water and pumping/breastfeeding more but I can't seem to stomach the thought of oatmeal right now so have not had that.

  • My supply has dropped. But I agree I can't stomach the oatmeal now! DD seems to be satisfied though. She used to only nurse from one side now she nurses from both sides. I hope we can continue until she is at least 1.
