I have noticed that my milk supply has been low since I started my period. Has anyone else experienced this?

I haven't had my period yet but I've heard that supplemental calcium and magnesium can help with dips in supply during your cycle. Check kellymom.com for dosages...sorry I don't have the link handy...

I'm surprised you've started your period already. Are you EBF? But it's normal for supply to drop when your period starts again. With DS1, I got my period around 9 months and struggled with milk supply after that, but was able to continue nursing awhile. DS1 lost interest around 16 months so we stopped

Very common to have Dip during your period! Sorry yours is back already, too. From what I understand, the drop should correct itself as LO continues to nurse, but make sure you're feeding on demand, maybe more than usual, as baby tries to get your body to meet demand ( like a growth spurt!) And drink extra water, because that never hurts when BFing.

I took 3 caps of fenugreek 3 times a day from when my boy was 9 months old and was suffering from supply drop due to work/pump conditions. It definitely helped
