My period returned when I was 5 weeks postpartum. Since then, I’ve noticed that my supply drops around the time that I’m ovulating as well as during the beginning of my period. I pump after some of her feeds and usually get around 4oz between both breasts, but now have only been getting 0.5-1oz total. My baby just turned 3 months old and has been exclusively nursed as she developed a bottle aversion while in the NICU so I’m unable to supplement on top of nursing. Is there any way I can increase my supply during this time? Also, is this even normal or is my supply decreasing? She is incredibly fussy at the breast when this has happened and am really needing help with getting her to bottle feed to make sure she’s eating enough. We’ve tried different bottles, different people feeding her, different positions, feeding in the dark, white noise etc.

Hi! My daughter had an ileostomy and mucus fistula and underwent her stoma reversal surgery 2 days ago. We are going on day 3 of no bowel movement yet, but she has been passing gas. Her belly is also quite distended and she’s very puffy from all the IV fluids. Wondering if anyone has experience going through this and what recovery was like, as we haven’t been able to start feeding her yet and she’s very hungry/fussy!
