Breastfeeding

Possible supply decrease?

LO is 10 weeks old and EBF. About a week ago I noticed my breasts rarely feel full, I don't leak milk anymore, and she doesn't seem satisfied after feeding (fussing, squirming, etc.). Is this a normal adjustment to her demand or should I be concerned with my supply? If it could be a supply issue, what steps can I take to increase supply?

She continues to have typical wet/dirty diapers and she went from 10 lbs at her 1 month doctor appointment to 10 lbs, 10 oz at her 2 month appointment.

I know there's a lot of supply questions here so I appreciate any input! Thanks!

Re: Possible supply decrease?

  • Thank you SO much for those links- very helpful! You helped put my mind at ease about supply issues. It's difficult to not want to supplement when LO seems hungry after a feed, and I'm really hoping to not need to.

    The pediatrician didn't have concerns with her weight and I didn't really think anything of it until after. However, her monthly appointments ended up being just 3 weeks apart, so perhaps that's why the pedi didn't seem concerned.
