Can your milk supply decrease for no reason?

Question

Just all of a sudden? My baby is about to be 6 months, I have not done anything to alter my milk sipply, yet sometimes I feel like he can not get enough or maybe he's just fussy for another reason 🤷‍♀️

Answer

There's a growth spurt at 6 months with cluster feeding.
Teething and other reasons for feeling uncomfortable also causes seemingly cluster feeding which is actually just comfort nursing.
And there are so masni things influencing your supply that is very difficult to say what happens when it changes! Including stress. Now this is a real monster. Don't you worry about a thing because worrying too much is a lot of stress and that could end your supply for good... And this is a really scary prospect that got me worried a lot with my first.

Answer

My supply dips right before my period starts.

Answer

Or maybe he’s just cluster feeding or comfort feeding. 
It’s normal

Answer

Your supply does dip once you introduce solids because baby is getting filled with real food. Milk should still be main source of nutrition, but supply can dip.
