[quote=Anonymous]I had stubbornly low supply with my DS that gave me some real war wounds and a tough relationship with breastfeeding. Now with DD it seems I have better supply, at least at the 1 month mark I did a weighted feed with a lactation consultant and she took 5 oz combined from both breasts. We still occasionally supplemented with formula up until 3 weeks ago when I went dairy and soy free due to some tummy issues she’s been having and she hates Alimentum. The past week or so our sessions have really shortened. She used to do 20 minutes each side now it’s more like ten, sometimes only 7. Went to the Dr today because she has a cold (though the latching and unlatching and shorter feeds started before the cold) and she’s fallen off her weight curve by a couple percentage points. Dr wasn’t concerned at all since she’s got a cold but I’m wondering if something happened to my supply? Is it normal for babies to suddenly get efficient? Oh and another reason I worry is the couple of times I’ve pumped an hour after a feed I haven’t had great results. I know that can be normal but it does make me nervous. She’s 11 weeks old. She has plenty of wet and dirty diapers and overall seems happy.[/quote]
