But she has seemed to be nursing more. I have some mothers milk tea...maybe I will try that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-period-impact-your-bf-baby#post-1226561 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 10:53:45 +0000 junebugmama 1226561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The return of your period will affect your supply. It's due to the hormone shift. The only thing you can do, is to add in extra feedings/pumpings. It will usually start to dip a few days before and end a few days after. It can be a pain, but it's totally normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-period-impact-your-bf-baby#post-1226556 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 10:52:09 +0000 mrsjyw 1226556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It didn't affect his sleep but there were def a few fussy sessions when I wasn't producing enough.</p> <p>I used to take fenugreek tablets from gnc, and calcium+magnesium tablets around AF time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-does-your-period-impact-your-bf-baby#post-1226511 Tue, 19 Nov 2013 10:41:04 +0000 Silva 1226511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Welp, at almost exactly 7 months post partum I just got my period.</p> <p>My kid has been noticeably harder to settle at night- she wakes up crying as soon as I take her off the breast (we co-bed after the first wake up), and has been nursing every 90-120 minutes all night long, plus I noticed yesterday that she added in at least one extra day time feeding. Seems like maybe my supply took a hit? How long does this last? Should I do anything about it?</p> <p>How does your period impact your breast fed baby? </p>
