Hello all
Been thinking of all you lovely ladies.
I will call infant risk tom. Am feeling a bit better the past few days. Think its cos I have a 2 hrs break in the afternoon.
But suddenly my breastmilk supply has dropped. Like within 2 days. am so worried that my lil one is starving. Can supply just drop so rapidly? (and I have oversupply and OALD)
Is today the 18th? Are you seeing the doctor today?
Why not call today? It's 2:30 PM eastern now, a good couple hours the phone lines are still open :gvibes
I know you can do this!
Also, with regards to the supply, your breasts may not feel as full anymore as your body adjusts its supply. The best way to tell if she is getting enough is to make sure she has enough wet and dirty diapers.
Good luck with the appointment!

I just wanted to say this so you know that, if you want to increase supply, there's a way.
Hello ladies
I've been up and down, but on the whole better. Will be seeing a therapist regularly fr next week.
Thk you for the support and advice.
Oh yes, the doctor says I have PND. So he recommended meds and a therapist. I'm trying not to take the meds right now, going to tr with a therapist and family support first...but if I still feel down, I will reconsider the meds.
That is a reasonable plan. I handled it that way myself when I had some sort of weird hormonal/emotional upheaval after my third baby; it wasn't PPD (2 doctors and a therapist agreed) but I was not myself. And it went away with better support and talk therapy. If you aren't feeling better after some time with that, then add in medication, knowing it will take some weeks to kick in. This will really help. I'm glad you are getting help.
