We're down to 4 sessions a day and I feel like he's probably not getting much. On my work days I'm pumping 3 times in 24 hours (with no nursing) and I get 10 ounces or less, where I used to get 40 some days at the peak. Tonight while he was nursing before bed my nipples were hurting and I think he was being lazy with his latch because he was just sucking for comfort.</p> <p>I don't see him ever refusing though. I wonder what would happen if we just kept the bedtime feed... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-your-supply-is-drying-up#post-2356639 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 20:24:21 +0000 regberadaisy 2356639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: yea, you would've think my body would've adjusted by now. But it hasn't. The first two weeks my boobs were engorged daily. Multiple times I leaked through a bra onto my shirt! Thank goodness I had a cardigan on! Even just this week, if she doesn't nurse the second side when we get home, I'm soaked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-your-supply-is-drying-up#post-2356620 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:45:35 +0000 winniebee 2356620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: interesting. I'm only pumping if I miss a feed and that's just been once in the last week. I hadn't nyrsed from like 130 to 9 and only got 4 oz! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-your-supply-is-drying-up#post-2356600 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:14:31 +0000 regberadaisy 2356600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It was very clear with my first because I would never feel a letdown any more. Whereas I typically do. I don't hear her swallowing but just sucking.</p> <p>DD2 is 14m and I'm a little confused with my supply tbh. When I'm at work, 4/5 days, by the end of the day, I am leaking. But on the weekends, I don't feel like she is getting a ton. It's been this way for about 2 weeks and I pump weaned probably 4 weeks ago? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-your-supply-is-drying-up#post-2356595 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:09:49 +0000 FaithFertility 2356595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she would push away from me in the morning and act as if she wasn't into the boob, but then would gulp down 5oz from her cup with breakfast I thought, she probably isn't getting much and is over it...lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-know-when-your-supply-is-drying-up#post-2356593 Sat, 14 Nov 2015 19:07:27 +0000 winniebee 2356593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is down to 4 BF sessions and I think my supply is a lot, lot less than it used to be. He's 11m so I'm wondering if he will just start eating more (he already eats a fair amount) or start rejecting the breast or something? </p> <p>How did you know when your supply was drying up? </p>
