Power pumping always got my supply back up for whatever the reason it dipped. You’re doing great, mom!

Yes! I was still "EBFing" - by the logical definition - when my period came back and would always get a dip in supply from ovulation until my period. Calcium+magnesium supplements helped a lot.

I EBF, and got my period back \ decrease in supply right around 6 mos. when DS started eating table food. It made sense, since it was the beginning of weaning (continued to nurse until 13 mos.).

Typically, a year.

Your supply will adjust through your cycle. Mine came back at 6mos, and I continued nursing until 28 months. Started cows milk at 11 months.


Did you understand what I meant when I said "ebf"? Clearly you did. No need for being rude.


+1000, LOL.

I’m on Mirena now, but I notice when my period is coming (although short/almost not noticeable), a day or two of dropped supply. I’ve been tracking my periods and it helps, as I push food and fluids to ME the days I think my supply will drop, and it helps.

I didn't get it back until 12 months and DD was well on her way to weaning on her own so I can't say if it was my period or her lack of sustained interest that led to the decline in supply.

Mine came back at 6 months and I am still nursing my 13 month old. You might notice your supply declines when you ovulate or menstruate but it's likely to be fine.
