Temporary dip in milk supply - need some help!

La

Hey ladies,

I'm EBF and my baby is 5 months old. I've noticed my milk supply has dipped a bit - my breasts feel soft quite often and even after 3/4 hours of no breastfeeding (at night when he's asleep) they don't feel as full as they usually would. I know there's milk because I hear him gulping and he's still got 4-5 dirty diapers a day. And when I squeeze my breasts milk does come out.

The past 3 days I've been under a crazy amount of stress because my husband had a burnout/mental breakdown due to work and I've had to take care of him and my LO. I also, at the same time, developed strep throat and been feeling sick from that. I'm not sure if the dip in supply is due to that, or the fact that my period is due in a few days.

I purchased a lactation supplement, as well as some more lactation tea. Any other advice you guys can give? I'm really hoping this is temporary!

Here is the supplement I purchased 👇🏽
