I have a 10 week old baby, exclusively breastfeeding. I had no issues and she took to BF immediately. My flow was really strong and I always felt I had lots of milk.
Over the last couple of weeks I've felt it dwindling. I know it's normal for it to settle down, but the last few nights my baby has cried a lot, so I tried giving her formula yesterday, she glugged down 90ml and fell straight to sleep, which suggests she was hungry.. She often seems to be frustrated when feeding and I wonder if she's having to work extra hard.
I've ordered some Pregnacare supplements (have Mum guilt that i haven't taken these already), but wondering whether it's normal for milk to dry up, even though I've continuously breastfed and my baby is putting on weight well / wet nappies etc?
