1 year success w/ LO2 after low supply with LO1

I just made it to 1 year of nursing with LO1 after low supply issues with LO1. With LO1 I took domperidone and EPed for 10 months, but with LO2 we've been going strong since day 1, with no plans to quit. I'm posting my experience because this was a big source of stress for me while pregnant with LO2, and this board was so helpful in giving me encouragement. If you had problems with LO1, it can be done the second time around. Good luck, mamas!

  • Congrats! This gives me hope. I also needed domperidone with DS1 and am currently nursing DS2 who is 1 month old. I'm so worried I'll have low supply again so it's refreshing to read your experience.

  • Congrats! That gives me hope too! Even if I can't BF fully again, I am hoping that I will have a little more milk this time so we can supplement less than we had to last time. Thanks for posting this!
  • 1 year, that's awesome! Congrats!

  • Way to go!  That is such a huge accomplishment!  I understand how stressful low supply can be.  As I had it with my first as well.  Just really consumes your thoughts and trying to decide if today or tomorrow will be the day you need to make some changes or if you will be able to hang on.  I just hated that. I am breastfeeding our second as well and supply has had its ups and downs toward the 8-12 month mark....but we have made it!  We made it to 1 year breastfeeding and this time I have far more supply in the freezer than with the first as I really burned through it.  Funny how we gear up or what to achieve something the second time around...and YES YES YES...it can be done successfully!  Way to go...you should celebrate that for achieving your goal.  Great job.  Thank you for sharing, makes you realize that you aren't the only one out there fighting the issues that we face from day to day.
