Thought we could all share experiences, commiserate, etc. DS is 11 months and nurses mostly before naps and bed- I usually try to nurse him when he wakes up, too- so about 4 times a day, and then 2-3 overnight.
As of right now, I think my supply has dropped, but that could be in my head- just tested positive 4 days ago and before that I hadn't noticed a difference. Funny how those things work, isn't it?
Last night was the first time I'd felt a little soreness while nursing, but I'm going to go ahead and blame those on teething.
My biggest concern is that if my supply drops- Do I need to make sure DS is taking in some other kind of milk? He eats yogurt and/or cheese daily, and gets healthy fats from avocado, olive oil, etc. He's a great eater. I really don't want to go with cow's milk, and I don't think I want to do soy either- maybe almond?
Has anyone done this before? I'd love to have an idea of what to expect- I've seen some women say their supply drops and then builds back up. I get the impression that there's nothing I can do to boost my supply... Is that correct?
Looking forward to hearing from other mamas in the same boat
