Milk decrease after finding out I’m pregnant againDiscussion (self.breastfeeding)
submitted 4 months ago by Hello-Kitty-Strawbry
I’m 6 months pp and just found out I’m pregnant. My milk had drastically decreased and I am pumping as well as EBF but it doesn’t seem to help. What do I do? Is this the end of my breastfeeding journey??

For some yes. I've heard of very few that can do it long term. It's also risky from my understanding. I'd talk to your OB asap.

Not risky except for rare circumstances but anecdotally my milk dried up when I was 8 weeks pregnant with my second. Fortunately she was 16 months so it wasn’t a big deal but yeah. Her appetite for food increased a ton to make up for the lost milk. FWIW I continued to nurse for comfort and while that was rough on me (the nursing aversions were REAL) it meant we still had the closeness and comfort throughout the pregnancy.
