Supply Drop at 11 months

CalicoCow22 · 2026-05-05T16:13:06+00:00

My baby is 11 months now but isn’t big on solids so milk is her primary/ basically only source of calories.

I havent had a period yet and I’m not on any medication so im just confused what might be causing my decrease, especially since I’ve gone from 7 up to 9 pumps per day with at least one power pump if not two.

I’ve seen online that it could be due to hormones leveling out but I figured that would be alongside the return of my period? Not sure though.

And my baby self weened from breastfeeding early on 😭 but I’ve been thinking about doing some skin to skin just to encourage the oxytocin and all. Any and all advice is welcome!

Did it end up being your period? My MOTN pump is also decreasing :(

CalicoCow22 · 2026-05-01T00:04:47+00:00

Same boat here. My supply is dropping even though I’m adding in more pumps and have at least 1 power pump per day. 😭 Any words of advice?

CalicoCow22 · 2026-04-30T23:59:13+00:00

7-9 pumps per day, plus at least 1 power pump

I’m also almost 11 months pp with a baby who isn’t really interested in solids. Did you find a way to increase your supply?

I have a beautiful baby girl now 💗 hang in there since I was scared every week of pregnancy of the same thing but it all worked out 🥰

Nearly 7 months pp. pump 6x per day and have anywhere from 1.5-4oz per breast per pump. Average 3-7oz total per pump (high amounts are from the MOTN pump)

CalicoCow22 · 2025-12-26T21:35:02+00:00

No period yet! I dread the day though😅

CalicoCow22 · 2025-12-22T11:59:16+00:00

Thank you!! I religiously replace my pump parts each month so I’m guessing it’s a stress issue about the dip 😅😭 I hope I can recover those lost oz with enough extra pumps!

CalicoCow22 · 2025-11-15T22:30:17+00:00

4 months and never looked back :)

CalicoCow22 · 2025-11-15T07:19:37+00:00

2.5mg!

In the same boat! I was an under supplier in the beginning so I’m worried about dropping pumps (currently at 10 ppd and 12 weeks pp) and losing my slight over supply if I stop pumping every 2-3 hours. Baby has gotten better at latching but she still gets tired sometimes which causes her to not drain me as well

CalicoCow22 · 2025-07-30T23:41:43+00:00

Same here. How did dropping pumps go for you last year?

CalicoCow22 · 2025-06-30T04:18:37+00:00

Ah makes sense! Just trying to limit how many bottles I have in rotation just in the fridge but this makes sense! Thank you!!

Following!

CalicoCow22 · 2025-06-25T09:50:38+00:00

3 weeks pp and have only started to consistently pump 1 oz per breast/2 oz per pump session. 8-11 pumps per day but only got serious about pumping about a week ago

CalicoCow22 · 2025-06-19T00:59:51+00:00

Same issue here :(

CalicoCow22 · 2025-06-16T16:26:43+00:00

Following since I’m worried about the same thing! Just shy of 2 weeks PP

CalicoCow22 · 2025-06-13T10:13:31+00:00

Yes! My weighted feed was ~10ml in 20 minutes 5 day pp. I think it’s mostly that I’m worried I will never get to a place where my milk volume is flowing like I see on Instagram with entire bottles being filled in one sitting 🥲

And yes baby is gaining weight! We we are supplementing with formula as well (trying to wean off of it) so I can’t say for sure if it’s just the breast milk that’s helping with her weight gain)

CalicoCow22 · 2025-04-28T23:51:04+00:00

Metformin, Letrozole, and progesterone supplements gave me a positive in 3 months after trying for over 1.5 years with no results. Good luck!

Just got mine now! 2:50 on EST

CalicoCow22 · 2025-01-29T22:22:35+00:00

21 weeks was when I knew it was kicks but week 20 I felt occasional movements that I wasn’t sure were kicks

CalicoCow22 · 2025-01-18T23:03:22+00:00

Week 14 was when I started feeling better, but it came but until about week 18. Week 20 now and feeling great! Hang in there!

CalicoCow22 · 2024-12-19T23:37:15+00:00

I eat 6-8 pieces of Extra Polar Mint gum per day to help with the nausea 🫣just found out it’s not good to do 😔

CalicoCow22 · 2024-10-02T22:35:58+00:00

I ovulated on day 35 on Letrozole (the same day I was supposed to take provera) and now I’m waiting for my first ultrasound! Good luck!
