I feel the same way brandy. My baby is 4 weeks old and i feel like my supply in one of my breast have gone down. i'm not sure what to do about it yet I have a post that i'm waiting for people to post suggestions. i do however know that pumping after a feeding is good to increase your supply

Brandy, that feeling of bustines does go away after a few months of bf. In the mentime, if you are worried and wish to up your supply, buy yourself bleesd thislte and Fenugreek form the natural supplement store. Make usre younever wait so long to bf that you get "engorged, that inadvertently tells your body that you have too much milk, and your body will slow down production. Make sure you really do feed on demand.
A few tiems a day, if you can pump AFTER a feeding for 5-10 min. that will offer further stimulation to your breasts, and increase production (do it AFTER to make sure your baby has his fill first).
Remember successful bf is FEED on DEMAND. DO nOT try to time your baby, or space his feedings, etc.
If you are introducing solids and baby is less than one ear of age, but more than 6 mths, always bf first, as bm is supposed to be his main food sourc e for the first year of life. Then you can "supplement" with the solids.

Make sure you are eating and dring=king enough, high=energy foods.

Do not take sudafed, tyelnol or advil sinus, or equivalent, as the ingredients pseudophedrine, act to decrease milk supply.

Finally, if you see that despite intensively offering the breast as demanded by the baby, for several days, you still have concerns, it may be possible for you to get a prescription for domperidone, which acts on prolactin to increase milk supply. THat is a last resort, however.

Let us know how you get by!

Are you going on how your breasts feel? You body adjusts pretty well after some time and even though it feels like you aren't producing as much, he's getting enough. Keep track of diapers, call your ped or lactation consultant to find out how many wet and dirty ones he should have in a 24 hr period for his age. You can also call the ped and ask to come in for a weight check. As long as he is gaining weight, then don't worry. As far as boosting production, the easiest is to feed him anytime he seems hungry. If he's nursing constantly then he is trying to do this and may be preparing for a growth spurt. There are some other ways to boost production, but I'm not familiar with them.

Darn, really did not spell-check my previous post...the herbs are called blessed thistle adn Fenugreek.

Brandy, I had a TON of milk when I first started nursing. I think that in the beginning your body doesn't really know how much to make, so it kicks it into high gear. Once you have a few weeks under your belt, I think the body starts to realize how much is getting used, so it starts evening out a bit. Now that I've been at this for 8+ months w/ my DD sometimes I swear I have no milk at all- but she's obviously growing and getting nourished! The engorgement does go away, so that always made it hard for me to tell if I was producing or not. I always checked by hand expressing a few drops after a feeding to make sure there was some still left.
As far as enriching supply, there is always power-pumping, fenugreek, mother's milk tea, and things like this. I think if you google it you'll get a ton of info!

The one thing I did that got my milk supply back up if it went down (usually on my period) was cluster feeding. It sucked because it was tiring (no pun intended, okay yes it was) It was much easier on me that power pumping. And the herbs never did a thing for although I've heard they worked wonders for other moms. I think kellymom.com has some information on cluster feeding. But it sounds like you may just be evening out. I still have times (16 months) where I wonder if the girls are actually getting anything because I don't get that full feeling anymore, but then they'll turn and grin at me and let a mouthful run down their chins as if to say look mom, I still got it! IF you still need info on cluster feeding PM me and I will get it to you!

my breasts got pretty huge the first couple weeks and were engorged so now that I am almost 4 weeks and my breasts don't FEEL as full or hard or huge I would figure that I didn't have a good supply anymore but I can pump the same amount and he is full when he eats and he is still eatting every 3 hours or so... (tiring!)
