AF and breastfeeding

My son is almost 7 weeks and I feel like I am getting my period. Is this going to cause my supply to tank?  What was your experience?

    It will cause a dip in your supply--every time, but especially the first--and is completely normal.  It can also mean some nipple tenderness.

    It's early--I'm sorry!  Try to counteract the dip with some galactagogues: mother's milk tea, fenugreek, oatmeal, bananas, avocados, whole grains, an inch or two of darker beer just after a feeding.

    GL!
