 Topic: Milk dry
Posted: 04 November 2005 at 1:45pm |
Hi there, I'm pretty new here but I have 22m and 3m daughters, Hannah and Briona. I breastfed Hannah til she was 11 months (weaned her when I found out I was pregnant!  ). But my milk has started to dry up for Briona already even though she's exclusively breastfed. The feeding had been going great until this week - I run out and she gets frustrated and upset cause she's still hungry. 
I guess I'll just need to supplement her with formula but has anyone else had this problem and what did you do?
Thanks heaps

To add to what Lou said... she may be going through a growth spurt, so if you keep feeding her (and look after yourself) your milk supply will catch up.

I had that problem when Han was younger but just needed to up my water intake. Took a couple of days and then my milk would come in again.

yep you can also buy nursing teas, or take fennell tablets, they also help if your baby is having wind problems too!

I also went through a stage of this and La Leche League recommended Blessed Thistle from the health shop. It worked well, just had to make sure you drank heaps of water with it also.
Hope this helps.
