Period Messing with Milk Supply?

eilathen · April 2010

Has anyone else's period messed with their milk supply?

It seems the whole week before and during my period, my supply drops to half capacity. Sad

I've heard that it does, but *knocks on wood*, I haven't gotten an AF yet.

It totally does! I drank an extra 32 oz of water everyday and I was still short. We actually have to give her one bottle of formula. I was so sad!

Wow! I had no idea, that explains the lack of milk then! Thanks ladies!

Yep and it took about a week after it was done for my supply to go back up. It sucked.
