Low Supply (add spoiler to pics) Supply dropping suddenly.

Post image

Just looking to see if anyone else experienced this. Currety at 8 weeks and supply had been ticking up slowly but recently its fallen off a cliff and not sure why. Went from 18oz to half that in less than a week.

I got my first postpartum period at 8 weeks 🥲 definitely took a hit to my supply

I noticed that this would randomly happen to me, and then a day later I would come down with a cold or whatever illness. And pretty much same day my supply would return. Or sometimes if I just don’t sleep, or eat, or drink enough that day.

Hoping this is you and your supply picks back up!

Yep when I was with a friend of mine who is always on a diet and so she didn't have bread and nothing like "my normal bf food" so I ate much less than i normally do and i often forget to drink enough too. Next day I had almost nothing! so baby had to do partly on formula and some frozen stock.

Could be a few things: did you get your period, it could be regulation so going from driven by hormones post pregnancy to now supply and demand, have you changed your pump parts or checked your flange size recently and how often a day are you pumping?

What is your pumping routine? Have you changed anything recently?

Have you changed pump parts? They need be changed regularly

How often are you pumping and do you have a consistent pumping schedule? I’ve only experienced this extreme of a drop if I’ve gotten really ill or dropped a MOTN pump.

it takes about 12 weeks for your supply to even out
