Hello. My DS is nearly 13 weeks and is EBF. Over the last week I just feel like I am struggling to make enough for him. My breasts never feel full and even feeds in the morning he seems to struggle with and completely drain both sides. I have been taking fenugreek for ages but it doesn't seem to do anything. I was pumping in the evening after he went to sleep but stopped as I thought it would at least allow some milk to build up before his first night feed but it hasn't made any difference.
He feeds every 2-3 hours during the day and we get maybe a 5 hour stretch then 2 x 3 hour over night.
I have got my period back (although so far only 1 at 5 weeks) and just had a coil fitted.
Any thoughts on what could've causing this and any advice to remedy?
