Mom with 2 or more kids: Was there a change in your breast milk production with your second/subsequent child(ren)?

Question

I’m currently pregnant and have one child. When she was born, I was only able to keep up with her for the first 3 months. After that, she outpaced me and we had to supplement with formula. I’m just wondering if any moms noticed a difference in the amount of breast milk they produced from pregnancy to pregnancy.

Answer

Had a bigger oversupply with my second. (Not something to wish for!) 
What made you feel like low supply?  you did baby have any ties and/or trouble latching?

Answer

I had a oversupply with my daughter 
And my son is 5 days old and I’m struggling to keep up sadly
He’s lost 12 oz since birth and it’s been stressful to want to continue breastfeeding

Answer

I couldn't breastfeed the first time. I had almost zero milk.
The second time having baby latch was the problem (and beginning mastitis that came as my milk came in and then thrush) and I eventually gave up because life with a toddler and a baby who wouldn't take milk form me was stressful. But I had so much milk the second time. I pumped as much as I could get time to and baby had my milk weeks longer than my first 😊

Answer

My 1st kid ate every 1-1.5 hrs for the first 4 months of life and I had an over supply. My 2nd kid eats every 2-3 hrs and my supply is right where it should be. Not sure if the decrease in supply is due to the frequency of the feeds or due to something else, but I enjoy the fact that my boobs aren't engorged and in pain 24/7 this time around.

Answer

I’m feeding my toddler and newborn together now so I definitely have more milk than when I was just feeding my first baby alone.

Answer

I don’t remember because my kids were 6 years apart, I EBF my first for 3 months (had to stop when I went back to work) & I EBF my second for 5 months because I got pregnant and my supply dried up
