Any runners out there?

Did your supply drop when you started running again after having the baby? I am afraid to start running because of this. What do you do to keep your supply up? What is your breastfeeding and running "regimen?"

    Running shouldn't affect your supply as long as you increase your calorie intake accordingly. I started running at six weeks and it had absolutely no effect on BF-ing whatsoever.

    I have been running since 4 weeks PP and I don't think running had any impact on supply. My supply has dipped recently, but I think it is due to mastitis and not the running.

    I've been running since 3 weeks pp with no decrease in supply.  I don't even think I've upped my calorie intake, but I do make sure that I am incredibly hydrated - moreso than ever.  In addition to the regular amounts of water I drink, I make sure I drink 16oz before and after the run and bring water with me to drink while I'm running - even if I don't feel thirsty.

    No drop in supply here. My baby is 12 weeks and I just started training for a half marathon. My biggest problem is chafing and finding a sports bra (or two) that can contain these milk jugs!
