Breast milk supply

Dawn

Hello,

I'm currently breastfeeding/pumping with a 10 month old.

I'm 3 months pregnant right now.

I used to get 4-4.5 ounces each pump. Now, for the past month, I'm only getting 1 ounce with pumping.

Anyone know what's going on?

Your pregnancy is the cause. This is because hormones during pregnancy cause a decrease in milk production.

It was right around the time for me where I noticed a significant change too.

But it's been happening since about 10 weeks. Isn't that early?

It’s so different for everyone. Some women don’t even lose de their supply! If you don’t think that it’s your pregnancy hormones maybe try replacing your pump parts, make sure you’re eating well and staying hydrated ( might be difficult if experiencing morning sickness) and see if that works. Best of luck!!

Hmmm. I'm only 15 weeks, and this started at about 10 weeks. I feel like that's so early for a drop??
