XP: Probably a naive EP question.

browneyes_24b · December 2009

I've been EPing since DS was born, and I had this thought the other day.

My question is...how does your body know how to change the BM to fill the needs of your LO? Is it all psychological?

I have not googled this or asked my LC yet. Just wondering if anyone knows.

When your lo goes through a growth spurt he will feed more often which will make your body produce more milk. Since your pumping, you'll probably just have to pump more often.

I probably should have clarified - not so much quantity, but the change in nutrients. The milk you make for a 3 week old has to be different than milk you make for a 5 month old. KWIM?

I EP'ed for DS for 10.5 months but I do not know if or how the BM changed over that time frame. He did just fine though so the BM must have been fine whether it changed or not.

I presume it's the passage of time.

I don't know if it does if you EP. I've wondered the same thing since I was told it was their saliva that makes the change.
