I've also read that the hormones for sweat and breastmilk are related! So if you tend to be sweaty (and sweat a lot while working out or in the heat), you tend to have plenty of milk supply.
-
I sweat a ton (completely soak shirts during workouts) and I had an oversupply of milk.
-
Ditto.
-
I don't sweat a ton but I have plenty of milk...at least I think I do...I had the forceful spray and engorged boobs for months...now things have stabilized and LO is EBF and has been in the 50-80 percentiles for weight
-
It takes a lot for me to sweat but I've had plenty of milk. But I did get more sweaty/stinky than before since having LO.
-
Is it related to if you are a sweaty person in general or if you get sweaty (meaning I should exercise more)?
-
I get sweaty but didn't have an oversupply! I sweat a normal amount when I work out and had a normal supply ..
-
@Thehistoryofus: supposedly if you are a sweaty person in general. The hormone that causes lots of sweat also causes milk.... But looking at this poll I'm thinking it might not actually be true!
-
I kind of hope that's true, cuz I sweat like a champ.
-
Can't pesonally relate, but my older sister is always cold and had a low milk supply and my younger sister sweats a lot and she had a LOT of milk. So, they would agree!
-
i think i sweat a normal amount and had a normal milk supply.
-
I don't sweat very much, but man can I produce a ton of milk! Interesting idea though!
-
@eiko2010: DITTO! me too... i sweat so much.
-
I think I sweat a lot when I workout, but I have an abysmally low milk supply.
-
I definitely sweat, but not profusely... well not including the first little while after giving birth... ew! So far I seem to have a pretty decent supply.
