I am trying to find out when to expect my supply to be lowest. I'm just pregnant now and am tandem feeding a 21/2 and a 14m old. Both of whom eat very little and feed very frequently! Can others let me know what they found as I cannot for the life of me remember from last time!

Well first of all well done you for tandeming - have done it myself and it's bloody hard work. I found my supply didn't drop at all during pregnancy but the milk changed according to DD. (It became like ice cream apparently ) but there was always loads. Mind you I didn't have the over engorgement when DS was born I had first time round. So I reckon you'll be fine. Also, it might encourage them to eat a bit more solid food if your milk changes.

My colostrum came in around 23 weeks, and I am fairly sure that ds had been dry sucking for maybe 4 to 6 weeks before then.

So, I reckon mine dwindled away at around 17 - 19 weeks. But I can't be sure.

However, my ds is 4 and only has a quick shot morning/bedtime, so I doubt if I was producing much to start with IYSWIM.

He's hanging in there though! And is very excited about the baby coming and bringing lots of milk for him!!
