Any breast fed babies acting like they aren't getting enough?

Question

In the last couple days my 7 1/2 wk little boy is acting like he isn't getting enough in the late afternoon/evening. He is still having wet diapers. My boobs don't feel as full as before. I also just started my period 2 days ago. I exclusively breastfeed him. Anyone else going through something similar?

Answer

A week ago my boobs started to feel less full and I panicked and thought my milk supply decreased. My LO was also a little cranky on the boob which further led me to believe this. As of today I still don't experience that fullness/heaviness of the first few weeks but he is fine and my milk supply seems to be enough. Plenty of dirty and wet diapers. I've pumped twice and have gotten at least 3oz per breast each time.

He slept for 6hrs two nights ago and that's the only time I've experienced engorgment in a week. I read that it's normal for our breast to start to feel softer as our milk supply stabilizes.
