Losing milk?

Question

I'm on day 8 of BFing my newborn. Everyday up until now my boobs would get rock hard if I didn't feed baby or pump. Now they aren't hard at all after my normal 3 hrs of not emptying. Is this normal or is my milk supply dropping?

Answer

Totally normal. Not milk supply dropping. At first your body has no idea how much milk to make or how often but after a week or two it gets used to how often your baby nurses and your hormones level out. My boobs are NEVER hard anymore but she gets plenty of milk - she's been gaining weight just like she's supposed to.

Answer

Normal! I'm EBF for my 4.5 months old and my breasts have been soft about 4 months now.

Answer

More likely your body is regulating to your child's needs. I'm rarely engorged except in the morning because she usually sleeps all night.

Answer

Totally normal! Engorgement doesn't last long. Your body is learning to produce exactly what your baby is reauiring.
