It stayed low for 3 weeks and is only now just coming back. When AF first showed up, I added a pumping session during the day at work. When that didn't help, I added power pumping in the evening. It's FINALLY back up, but I'm scared about what will happen when AF hits again... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/effect-of-period-of-milk-supply#post-1352779 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:40:06 +0000 Mrsjets 1352779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't notice a dip at all and I'm one of the lucky ones that got her back at 5 month PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/effect-of-period-of-milk-supply#post-1352768 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:38:23 +0000 mrsjyw 1352768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AF came back at 4.5 pp, took a hit, so I started taking MMP, calcium+magnesium supplements, and drank milk tea. </p> <p>Every month around AF I would pump 1-2oz less, but always had just enough to cover DS' needs. </p> <p>We EBF'ed to a year </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/effect-of-period-of-milk-supply#post-1352765 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 11:37:42 +0000 autumnlove 1352765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It dips but comes back.
