It’s Gone

Published by

The breast milk has disappeared. It was here the day before yesterday, then disappeared yesterday for no discernible reason, and hasn’t come back today.

It was never too abundant, of course. I was supplementing heavily from the start. Or rather, I was supplementing formula with breast milk. And then it just ran out altogether. Weirdness.

I’m extremely happy that I’m not neurotic on the subject and have no feelings about it.

    Milk supply can dwindle up due to hormonal fluctuations. dehydration, and lack of sleep. If you are not ready to stop breastfeeding you can certainly bring it back by pumping intensively, amping hydration and sleep, and there are even supplements.

    But if you don’t care one way or another, all the better! 🙂

      I’ve been taking supplements and pumping from the start. This is all very mysterious.

        It’s probably hormonal then, plus if you’ve been having really hot weather, the dehydration will do it.
