After my initial post 3 weeks ago, my supply bounced back in less than a week. Then, I was in super over supply.... I was full all the time and leaking almost all day long. My little one would went back to nursing only one side and after a while wouldn't even empty one side. LO was nursing every 2-3 hours and sometimes 4 hours. That went on for a week or so.
And now, since Monday, my supply has dipped again. I am feeling so soft and hardly full even after a while since a feed. No leaking. I'm just not sure what is happening... In ONE day, I went from super over supply to making just enough.
I wonder what it could be.... I can't think of anything special I ate or didn't eat. I drink lots of water. I've generally been getting good rest (8-10hours of combined sleep in a day) .... I am just worried that my supply seems so sensitive....
Since I noticed the dip on Monday, I've been offering to nurse more. Funny thing is, diaper output seems okay still. I was really hoping to start pumping the "extra" for my freeze stash as I'll be going back to work in September...
Perhaps I'm just looking for answers that don't exist... I just wanted to share... And see if anyone else experienced such "ups and downs" in supply.
TIA
