Breastmilk supply just vanishing ???

My LO is 5 months/1 week old. Nothing has changed in his eating schedule or my pumping schedule yet my supply has just dropped off. What can I do???

Re: Breastmilk supply just vanishing ???

  • How long has your supply been low? Has your day to day routine changed? I had a week where I was pumping 2-3 oz less per day, and it improved the following week. What helped me (I think) was getting more rest, being conscious of my water intake, and more cuddle/nursing time with my LO.

  • Are you stressed out? I was horribly stressed with a medically issue several weeks back and I went from pumping 110z at work to less than 5. Once I stopped stressing, it came back like nothing happened.
  • Are you pregnant? Or about to start your period? Both can lower supply.
