I don't think I had an oversupply to begin with (rarely got engorged, etc.) so that may have had something to do with it. I supplemented with formula until LO finally refused nursing altogether at around 8.5 months :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-the-monthly-friend#post-538069 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 05:47:35 +0000 autumn865 538069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine came back about 3 months PP although my LO was far from STTN boo! But around the day it comes I get a little dip but nothing alarming or nothing that has made me need to do measures to try to increase supply. I figure/ hope my body knows what to do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-the-monthly-friend#post-538048 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 02:32:25 +0000 mamimami 538048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine came back at 6 months and at that time my supply decreased somewhat. I think it was a combination of period, sleeping through the night, solids and my supply finally regulating (after and oversupply). Anyway, supply decreased somewhat overall and I definitely saw it drop (and rebound) each month a couple days before my period. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-the-monthly-friend#post-538012 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:33:52 +0000 littleveesmommy 538012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My period came back at around 5 months pp (I think) and my supply dropped noticeably so I drank mothers milk tea and ate a ton of oatmeal. It took a bit to bring it back but was fine. I was also EBF but DD had begin sleeping long stretches so I thought that was why, but after that my period didn't come again until 10.5 months pp. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-the-monthly-friend#post-537968 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 23:52:10 +0000 sarac 537968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was always fine. Now I'm having trouble at 16 months, and waiting to see if it comes back. But never an issue before now. I got my period back at 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-the-monthly-friend#post-537950 Wed, 30 Jan 2013 23:35:39 +0000 misolee 537950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally bummed that my period came back at 4 months (it's tomorrow) when I'm exclusively BF. I thought that it would come back once you started weaning but after some googling, I read that if your LO starts sleeping through the night, there's a chance of it coming back sooner. </p> <p>Does anyone know if your milk production is effected by your period? Can it decrease? Should I be proactive and try drinking mother's milk? </p>
