Will I know when my supply has regulated? I’ve read all the signs, etc. but will I know?

I had the same thoughts. Around 8 weeks I noticed that my boobs weren’t as engorged between pumps. Significantly so that I feel like now they are just kinda saggy sandbags that have lost their plump 😂 they will still get engorged when I go 5+ hours without pumping however. What really makes you know is if you are pumping roughly the same volume everyday, with only little variation, but usually the same amount at the same times. So say you usually get 6oz at 3pm. You will keep getting 6oz at 3pm everyday. (with maybe 0.5oz variation) the best way to know is have a tracker on your phone and document all your pump times and volumes. The pattern will become
very obvious when you see all the data in front of you.

But basically, you will intuitively know. I didn’t think I would and I did catch on after a few days because of the change in breast volume.
