Double Nipple Body
Am I going to loose my breast milk?
Ever since my daughter was born I have been pumping my breast milk because my daughter wasn’t able to latch on (her tongue kept getting in the way and still does plus my nipples are inverted). This past Friday night I had started my very first menstrual period and earlier today I had ended. My milk supply was high at the beginning of birth, but then it got low due to stress from inconsiderate family members to the point I had drank half of beer (has yeast and barley, which helped me bring in milk), but now that I had my menstrual period my milk supply is a bit low again. Last night, I had half of beer, but the supply has been low (only 60 cc’s on each side when usually I get double the amount. Now that my body has returned back to normal before pregnancy am I going to loose my milk supply? Please explain.
My daughter is 1 month or 7 weeks along.
You won’t necessarily lose your milk. Keep pumping as often as possible.
Have you seen a lactation consultatnt about your daughter not latching?
As for the beer…instead of theat, try some ‘lactation cookies’ (just google the recipe)…they contain brewers yeast and oats, both of which help with supply (and no alcohol).
