BFing question...

[saralou5]

So my boy is now just over 4 weeks old and we're exclusively breastfeeding. It's been going fantastically and we're getting on really well. HOWEVER, since Tuesday it feels like my milk supply has decreased suddenly! My boobs feel REALLY soft and almost empty. I'm really worried that I'm drying up or something! Or could this be my body adjusting to his needs? Any ladies with bfing advice that have done it before? Would really appreciate the advice .

Normal!!!!!

Your body has just regulated it's supply

How are you finding it?

Phew! I didn't know it could happen this early!! Everything says it doesn't happen until 6 weeks?! Silly google! It's going really well I was heartbroken when I thought my supply had gone to pot and would have to go to formula! I love feeding him so much, it's just such a nice thing to share .

Do you feel that he's getting enough? Make sure he is emptying each breast fully before swapping over as an empty breast produces milk faster than a Hal empty one xx

As the other ladies have said, completely normal well done xx

Yeah definitely normal, mine only feel really full if he hasn't fed for a long time, like if I expressed a bottle cos I was out and don't express off the boob he would have fed from. Xx
