Hello ladies!
I was wondering if any of you have ever run into the problem of not enough milk. With my first daughter, I completely ran out when she was about 4 months old, after I had pneumonia. (She had been doing wonderfully before that - gaining weight like crazy, etc.) I assumed that my body was just too exhausted after being sick to keep up the milk supply. (I stopped nursing cold turkey one day after trying anf trying to keep going with a frustrated and hungry baby, and I never felt "full" again after that.) But now my second baby is three months old, (and like her sister, gaining weight at an incredible rate (over the 95% in height and weight) and I feel like I'm running out again. I'm trying to keep drinking as much as I can make myself, but is there anything else I can do to help? Does this happen to other people? Is it hormones or fatigue or what?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks!
