I had some bad dips recently and thought we were done, but it came back just as before. I think we'll have to wean soon to have another, otherwise I'd be happy to breastfeed forever.</p> <p>I totally bet you can go as long as you want! Although I know that pumping is an entire other game. </p> mediagirl on "If your supply dipped around 8/9 months, did it ever come back?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-supply-dipped-around-89-months-did-it-ever-come-back#post-600227 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:53:40 +0000 mediagirl 600227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sarac: 17 months! That's amazing. I can only hope to go that long. :) </p> sarac on "If your supply dipped around 8/9 months, did it ever come back?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-supply-dipped-around-89-months-did-it-ever-come-back#post-600222 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 11:52:53 +0000 sarac 600222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In 17 months of breastfeeding I've had a lot of dips, and they've always rebounded. Especially when it's situational, like that. </p> LivsMama on "If your supply dipped around 8/9 months, did it ever come back?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-supply-dipped-around-89-months-did-it-ever-come-back#post-599625 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:23:50 +0000 LivsMama 599625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine did dip, and I had to take More Milk Plus and fenugreek to get it to recover a bit. I think your supply also takes a little dip at that time anyhow, because they are starting to eat less. All you can do is keep pumping and try a few herbal supplements. At this point, depending on how short you are in ounces, you can probably get by with more solids and not have to supplement. I know how frustrating it is!!!! </p> mediagirl on "If your supply dipped around 8/9 months, did it ever come back?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-supply-dipped-around-89-months-did-it-ever-come-back#post-599498 Thu, 28 Feb 2013 10:08:51 +0000 mediagirl 599498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply has been pretty low since having a cold and the stomach flu. I'm wondering if it will ever come back and allow me to pump enough for M's 3 daycare bottles. If your supply dipped when your lo was 8 months or older, did it ever come back?</p> <p>(ps...while writing this, I just realized I pumped 5oz for my morning pump. Not amazing since she didn't eat on my right side this morning but, still good!!) </p>
