Still pretty low supply today and I had to give her some pumped milk (I only have like 6 oz. in my freezer!). I made an appointment with an LC for tomorrow afternoon just to chat, so we'll see what she says. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply-growth-spurt-or#post-1971521 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 19:57:05 +0000 avivoca 1971521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: did it seem to help? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply-growth-spurt-or#post-1971515 Thu, 04 Dec 2014 19:54:52 +0000 fussygal 1971515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Oh man! I take it back!! I put some on my oatmeal today and it was so gross lol. But I just covered t in honey and ate it quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply-growth-spurt-or#post-1969911 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 21:33:09 +0000 fussygal 1969911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: Thanks! I'll have to get some avocado. I actually really love the taste that brewer's yeast adds to lactation cookies so adding it to oatmeal is a great idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply-growth-spurt-or#post-1969865 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 21:13:51 +0000 avivoca 1969865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine did, always around ovulation and during my period. Your body may be trying to ovulate, and your daughter may be going through a growth spurt. Avocado always helped bring my supply up, and so did brewer's yeast. If you can stomach it (it's bitter), try mixing some of that with some flaxseed in your oatmeal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/low-supply-growth-spurt-or#post-1969826 Wed, 03 Dec 2014 20:34:12 +0000 fussygal 1969826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else experience periods of low supply, but then rebounded? DDs nursing habits over the past 4-5 days make me think I'm low. She's wanting to eat every hour or more and each time it's a pretty small amount. I literally can't hold her without her going for my shirt. Even if I can hold her off for a few hours I don't feel quite as full. Each feed I'm switching sides multiple times to try and get her more and she's clearly frustrated. </p> <p>I had this happen once a few months ago and things got better after a few weeks, although I'm not sure if that was a fluke. It's possible that she's eating more often due to some sort of growth spurt, but I'm not sure. I'm trying to drink lots of water and I already eat a ton of oatmeal everyday, although I know there are other things like teas, cookies, etc. I could try. So: does your supply go through peaks and valleys? How many days of low supply before you'd worry or call a LC? </p>
