DD2 is 14wo and almost exclusively breast fed, apart from a couple of very small bottles of formula each day. BF has been a bit of a challenge as DD2 was a very large baby and was in NICU with blood sugar problems, jaundice and so on. And then of course she lost too much weight, wouldn't put it on fast enough, and so on.
Things are fairly settled now. She's a decent size, and I'm happy to continue with the little bit of formula (throwback to when it was forced upon us in hospital) as it means that DP can feed her occasionally.
I wasn't expecting my periods to return for some time, if ever. I'm perimenopausal, am BF and have a medical condition that normally causes periods to stop (I normally take medication for this but not while pregnant or BF). But already I've had 3 periods!!!
During the most recent one (last few days) I'm pretty certain I noticed a drop in supply - DD was feeding A LOT and also getting quite angry during feeds - screaming, squealing, latching on and off continuously. And it just felt like there was nothing there. AF completely over today, and hey presto, things seem back to normal - in fact, I seem to have to be careful that she doesn't overfeed!
I've lost a fair bit of weight recently, and wondered if it was that, but then googled the period thing. What on earth do I do? AF seems to be coming every 3 weeks too, and is very heavy. I could just about manage it but not the supply thing as well
