DD is 10 months and while my pumping output hasn't dropped off very much, her intake at daycare has dropped a lot. I think it is fairly normal for that to happen at this age when solids are starting to make up a much bigger portion of their diet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-intakepump-output-at-9mos#post-2454297 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 22:32:14 +0000 lilyofthewest 2454297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@catomd00: I had one pp period before getting my Mirena, amenorrhea since getting it in though. So, maybe there's a phantom cycle going on? I thought that was the culprit when my supply first dipped, but, it has been going on so long now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-intakepump-output-at-9mos#post-2454293 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 22:30:40 +0000 Bluemasonjar 2454293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am following because my supply is very similar. DS is 6 months and just ramping up on solid foods. I struggle to produce 12 oz for his bottles each day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-intakepump-output-at-9mos#post-2454278 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 22:23:56 +0000 lilyofthewest 2454278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: Yeah, he is getting more and more enthusiastic about solids. So frustrating that "the experts" don't agree on whether that should affect his milk intake at all at this age. I wish there was a clearcut answer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-intakepump-output-at-9mos#post-2454212 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 21:44:38 +0000 catomd00 2454212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around that time DD went from 12oz to 9-10 oz. my supply didn't really drop though, so I was able to stash some away.</p> <p>Has your period already returned? If not,<br /> Could be coming! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-intakepump-output-at-9mos#post-2454189 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 21:31:12 +0000 MrsSRS 2454189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has LO upped the intake of solids lately? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastmilk-intakepump-output-at-9mos#post-2454174 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 21:21:36 +0000 lilyofthewest 2454174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 9mos old. Over the past 3 weeks my pump output has been dropping off quite a bit. </p> <p>Until this point, I'd been pretty consistently pumping between 11 and 13 oz per day, and had been sending baby with 12oz (as three 4oz bottles).</p> <p>It was also typical for my pump output to be higher on Monday/Tuesday after spending the weekend together and to drop off by an ounce or two over the course of the week.</p> <p>In the past few weeks my daily pumping output has gone down to more like 9-11oz per day, and I tend to have the lowest output early in the work week.</p> <p>What's going on? </p>
