I am looking for some clarification. I have been BF my 6 month old LO since birth (initially with the help of many lactation appointments, Daily). I've been hearing lately about how some women started supplementing because they weren't making enough (after having successfully EBF for months). I am confused... I thought it was a supply and demand type thing? If the milk supply was well established after the newborn phase, shouldn't the body continue to make however much milk the baby needs?

And then another woman told me she just dried up all of a sudden when her LO was 8 months.

How does this happen?
