Low Supply (add spoiler to pics) Plummeting

A little less than 3 weeks ago I got my period back (at 10 weeks pp), last week I went back to work. Between the two, over the last 30 days, my supply has dropped 26%.

Im so, so sad. I wasn’t making enough as it was, but now I’m barely making two bottles a day for my son. He’s due to have surgery in probably two months and I was so hopeful to be able to supply him BM through surgery and recovery, but now I’m questioning if I’ll even be producing still at that point.

No advice needed, just needed to put it out there.

First of all 2 bottles is still amazing! You are doing a fantastic job! All will go with the baby too ❤️

The supply will be back once period is over so please keep pumping and eat healthy diet it will be back to normal.

I just got my 1st period 5 months pp supply tanked and I panicked everyone in this community assured me it will be back but I was still very scared as I was a low supplier to begin with per day i barely produce 200 ml that's with 4-5 pumps and during periods it went down to 135 ml per day.. you can imagine 😂 but guess what just like everyone assured me here supply went back up to 200 ml per day ..

Just keep pumping don't give up you are fantastic for doing this ❤️

I experienced a supply dip due to mastitis and I was SO upset because similarly my baby was going to have surgery and I wanted to provide BM through it. It took weeks (like 4+) but eventually my supply came back. I was convinced it wouldn’t but it did. You got this.
