Do you supplement around your period?

Question

My milk supply is always low a week before my period. My son is 8 months old, and I've always been able to supplement with my freezer stash, but now I'm out and I'm thinking I'll probably have to start supplementing with formula. I've tried fenugreek and oatmeal (but only instant oatmeal) and I do my best to stay hydrated with water and Gatorade. Nothing works!!!

Answer

I just let my daughter nurse as long as she wants and haven't needed to supplement

Answer

drink way more water and steel cut oats

Answer

I drink a ton of Traditional Medicines Mothers Milk tea when my supply tanks around my period. It's the only thing that seems to help for me. I supplemented with frozen milk a couple times before I found the tea.

Answer

No we just pushed through. Give extra solids with healthy fats.almond milk in a sippy maybe? You aren’t bone dry right so he’s still getting breastmilk? You can talk to a naturopathic doctor and see about taking a hormone balancer. Eat lots of galactagogues.
