[quote=Anonymous]This book was super helpful for me ... https://kellymom.com/product/breastfeeding-mothers-guide-making-milk.  The first child, I did all the things but just didn't realize there was trouble till it was hard to make up for lost time.  Settled on feeding, pumping post-feeding, and supplementing right after pumping.  Could ease up on the pumping once more foods were introduced.  Weaned 2.5 years.  The second time around, knowing I had low supply the first time, I took it easy in the first few weeks (despite feeling so good postpartum ... I knew that derailed me the first time around as I was too active).  Pumped post-feeding for a while to be sure I boosted my supply as much as possible.  All worked out with no supplementing needed and quit the extra post-feeding pumping.  Weaned same age-ish.  So just know that it can be different the next time around.  And any amount you give is beneficial ... and the longer (even if a reduced amount; supplementing needed) is still better than quitting before age 2.  But you have to balance that with your state of mind / needs / unique support situation as well.  Best wishes!  Moms are mighty :)[/quote]
