Milk drying up

Jacky • 24

How can you tell if your supply is drying?

Here are some things I’ve noticed.

I’m currently 6m strong ebf. No pumping, bottle feeding nothing.

- no more leaking. I used to leak like crazy and it’s recently stopped. I know it’s not an indication, it could mean my supply has regulated but it’s what I’ve noticed

- my boobs are extremely soft, softer than usual. Even if I go longer without feeling they don’t feel full AT ALL.

- she’s always been a distracted either as she gets older it gets worse. she’s never been able to fully finish a feed, so I feel like it’s causing me to produce less.

- she gets frustrated and cries because my let down is extremely slow. I usually have to squeeze and wait a bit for it to start flowing. I never had this problem at all until recently.

- I use to squeeze my nipples and an extreme amount of milk would come out, now when I do hardly nothing.

- she hasn’t fully started solids yet, she just turned 6m a week ago. Every now & then she gets a meal but it’s not a set routine yet.

- she doesn’t really feed at night anymore maybe 1-3 times.

- her diapers are never full tbh. I change 4-5 diapers a day, they’re always light/medium.

- she’s never had a problem with weight, she weighed 18lbs at her checkup

- I would like to breastfeed until she’s a year. Nothing stressful has been happening, I don’t get my periods I guess from BF. I eat normal/ and normal water intake.

Advice?? I know some woman Randomly stop producing and it has always been my fear. What can I do??? I don’t think it’s a temporary dip in my supply it’s been happening for about 2-3 weeks.
