Was it right away? Sudden or slow?
-
Almost right away.. At around 10 weeks I had a noticeable drop. By 3 months pregnant I had dried up
-
@chopsuey119: So nothing noticeable until 10 weeks? I just noticed a drop in supply and pain while nursing. EPT has a faint line but amazon tests are negative so I'm not sure what's going on but nursing is def uncomfy.
-
@Maysprout: oh my boobs hurt SO much when I nursed early on.. Super cringe worthy each time she latched on.
About week 8 or so my letdown tingles started lessening too..Exciting about the faint line!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My 2nd lines on amazon tests didn't appear until minutes later. I actually threw them away and saw faint 2nd lines later on when I went to use the bathroom.
Was shocked! -
I'm not sure, she self wearned at 3 months pregnant. It could have been a lack of milk, I've also heard that the flavour changes?
And I was relieved because my nipples were super sensitive by then.
-
@chopsuey119: It's been hours and still no line. Maybe a hint of one but I think it's more imaginary. And I've taken 3 of them so I think I'm at my cutoff point for today. The 2 EPTs both had hints of lines though so I'll just feel like a crazy person for a few days until we figure out if there was a sticky baby or not.

Very interesting... there was a mom I knew in LLL who nursed through her pregnancy and now nurses her toddler and baby. Pretty intriguing I think! I wonder if maybe he just didn't get much (if any) milk and just resumed when her milk supply came back?
-
On another note - congrats on your possible BFP!! How old is your current LO?
-
@Coco Bee: I still nurse 2x a day before Lo sleeps. She gets nothing, but loves the comfort..
maybe she's getting some colostrum now? No idea!
-
@chopsuey119: will you continue then when your supply comes back?
-
@Coco Bee: that's the plan.. Gonna go as long as Lo wants to. Might cut it off at 2 years old though
so 3 months of tandem? We'll see!
-
@chopsuey119: Oooh good luck
hopefully it'll be easier since she's older!
-
@Coco Bee: Just turning 16 months
-
Right away! I went from pumping 4-6 ounces per session to 0.5-1 ounces!
-
My supply drop has been slow and steady, but at 18 weeks LO is still nursing twice a day, and while the sessions are short I can tell he's still getting something. It has gotten less painful at this point though, so I'm thinking maybe the milk is turning into colostrom...dunno?
maybe she's getting some colostrum now? No idea!
so 3 months of tandem? We'll see!
