Low milk supply?

I have been EBF for almost 5 months and the suddenly in the past few days he seems to be eating all the time and when I pump I am not getting as much as I used to. I have a few friends with babies the same age who say they feel like they are "drying up" early, and now I'm concerned that I am too. Anyone else having this issue?

Re: Low milk supply?

  • My supply has surprisingly gone up. I suggest pumping about an hour after you nurse to simulate cluster feedings, unless your LO still seems hungry a lot after a session.

    I bought more milk plus, which has grain alcohol and tastes like total azz but has done wonders for me.

    What kind of pump do you have? Have you tried new membranes recently?

    Also drink like a fish. I know you were asking if anyone was going through the same thing, but thought I'd offer some advice.

  • Are you getting AF? It could just be a dip because of that. What pp's have said, also I drink mothers milk tea every day. Some people said it doesn't help them, but it seems to help me. Also, I always have water or a beverage with me and drink a lot.
