AF & Breastmilk

[buliej]

Does AF change/impact your breast milk in any way - either in the few days leading up to AF or during AF? - thanks

Hi, Buliej,

Generally, no, your period doesn't impact your milk supply. Do you have your period yet?
Occasionally mothers find their babies are fussy around the time of their period. but calm persitance wins out and their babies adjust to the new circumstances

Thanks Barb - yes, this is my 2nd month with AF - spot on my usual 26 day cycle which I find hard to believe, but it's true - I would have been happy with more time off! DS has been very fussy yesterday and today but we are dealing with a few things so not sure (reflux which I believe is under control with Losec, possible teething although hard to tell, etc.).
