I used to have to supplement a few ounces each night with DS1 since he was a cluster feeder at night and I couldn't keep up. With DS2, we had a rough start but after a few weeks we have been rolling and we haven't had to supplement at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492325 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 15:41:46 +0000 sunny 2492325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only a month in, but it's way better with LO2! I always felt like I had low supply with LO1 but I don't think that is the case now with LO2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492317 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 15:33:45 +0000 Ginabean3 2492317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Much better with LO2! LO1 I had to supplement and LO2 I EBF. But with both my pumping output is dismal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492311 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 15:28:29 +0000 Mama Bird 2492311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Much better with LO2! I could not make enough for LO1, but had more than enough for LO2 and even leaked so much I built up a decent freezer stash without pumping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492272 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 15:01:38 +0000 travellingbee 2492272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply was just right with LO1. I had just the amount that he needed. And pumped just the amount and I needed for the next day. So far with this one, number two, I have had a lot more milk. Lots more engorgement, leaking, and I can pump a ton. I guess it's better to have too much than too little,... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492266 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 14:59:28 +0000 daniellemybelle 2492266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've always heard you usually make more with #2 - here's to hoping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492230 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 14:45:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2492230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my supply was just right with LO1- never really had any issues. With LO2 my milk came in with a big oversupply. I just had way too much milk for her to drain so young and I was painfully engorged, and she was only ever getting fore milk so was really uncomfortable. After a few weeks of block feeding I think my supply is just right, but I probably still have more milk than with my first. I still only feed one side per feeding where I always did both the first time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492084 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:32:44 +0000 kodybear 2492084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Autumnmama79: i'd def start pumping early to build up the supply! even just once a day from the start would help! for me, it helped that i started pumping right after my milk came in the 2nd time around. the first time around i was still trying to BF (she had a tongue tie/lip tie so it was painful and inefficient BFing) so by the time i started pumping consistently, my supply already tanked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492083 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:32:41 +0000 LulaBee 2492083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With both I had plenty just nursing, and a hard time pumping enough for daycare. With LO2 I would say it's slightly better, but at 16 weeks I'm getting about 2 oz every time I pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492073 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:24:27 +0000 MrsSRS 2492073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More/easier with LO2! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492068 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 13:18:51 +0000 Autumnmama79 2492068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: @kodybear: two good news stories so far! With Lo1 I'd say my supply was just right. I never got anything when I pumped (eventually gave up on that) but always had enough for DD. Would be nice to have a little more this time around! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492047 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 12:56:26 +0000 kodybear 2492047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was higher for LO2. I EPed for both so it was more quantifiable. But for LO1 i made around 20-25oz at my highest. for LO2 i made 30-35oz at my highest. i definitely think it was because i was less stressed and knew what i was doing the 2nd time around (kind of) :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492045 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 12:55:27 +0000 regberadaisy 2492045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure it's different for everyone but my supply is much better with dd2 versus dd1! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/milk-supply-with-lo1-vs-lo2#post-2492043 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 12:52:01 +0000 Autumnmama79 2492043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was your supply similar with Lo2 as it was with Lo1? </p> <p>Wondering what to expect :happy: </p>
