I didn't have time for breakfast this morning so I didn't eat, I always eat breakfast! My first session at work was only 4 oz, I can usally get 6-7 oz. It's also been a super stressful day for me. Is it normal to notice a decrease like this?
-
I don't know - I never forget to eat!!
-
I notice a decrease when I don't eat enough.
-
I do notice one. I had an apple, a Hershey bar, and chocolate milk for breakfast and definitely haven't been getting what I normally do (6-7 oz. per session). I'm going to have to pump at home too.
-
Definitely!
-
I don't really pay attention, to be honest lol! I'm not super regular anyway.
-
Yep, def had less output when I ddin't eat or because of extra stress
-
Yup!
-
Yup! I didn't eat breakfast and had a light lunch. I usually pump 4
Oz while she's sleeping...haven't really had time or supply to pump extra. -
stress, not eating, tired... it all affected my supply!
-
Yes not eating and not drinking enough water.
-
For sure. And I notice a decent increase in supply when I up my protein intake.
-
yes! and when I was stressed, it was so hard to pump at work
I'm always stressed at work
-
I notice a decrease when I drink less water or eat less.
-
Yep! Eating or drinking less causes a decrease in my supply!
-
Yes- not eating or drinking enough will tank my supply for about a day. Stress will also reduce my amounts.
-
Yes! I hate this!
-
Yep. I think this is partly why I gained a lot of weight postpartum. I was convinced that I needed to eat a lot to maintain my supply while pumping at work.
-
I think this is partly why I never produced much - I tried to limit calories and lose weight right away, not giving my body the calories it needed to produce milk. A lot of other small things factored into it of course, but I feel like this was just one more problem I had!
-
Yep, any time I would try to diet while nursing, I couldn't get anything.
-
Yes definitely and when I would eat really rich, fatty foods I would get more.
I'm always stressed at work
