Low milk supply at night!??

Question

My tiny is 10 weeks and I can't figure out why my milk supply is so low in the evenings. In the mornings I wake up engorged and can feed and pump 3-4 ounces and through mid afternoon can feed and even leak thru shirts. But come dinner and bed time I have ZERO milk. Any ideas why or ways to help!? I don't want to have to start supplementing, but i will to feed my baby girl but don't want to end this journey yet

Answer

It's normal. do not supplement, or it'll really make your supply take a hit. Just push through it gets better

Answer

I did have this with my daughter and it never corrected...so I ended up pumping at night and doing bottles at night so it wasn't hours long dance of off and on the breast, crying baby, adding in a bottle of formula, etc.

I would do breastmilk in bottle and then a bottle of formula before bed. I wasn't and still not averse to a little formula here or there, but it's a personal preference!

Answer

That's how I was! Just push through it. I'm now 6 almost 7 months into breastfeeding. Not exclusively anymore due to my birth control almost drying me completely out but it gets easier with time!
