I am a STM and 6 weeks post partum. For my first I had quite an oversupply and had to triple feed so my body kept it up before going back to work and after.

This time I am worried my supply is dropping to meet his needs and I’m scared I won’t be able to get it back up when I’m back to work, mostly pumping, and my body isn’t accounting for what he needs because I’m not nursing much.

Any success with keeping supply up when back to work? Is this a ridiculous fear or something realistic?

I have a Eufy this time around and just am not seeing the output my spectra gives me. With my first I had a Willow go and it worked amazing. Give me all of your eufy tips - how are you optimizing output with these? I bought the legendairy milk flanges and that didn’t seem to help.

When did your breasts stop feeling very full in the newborn weeks? For my first it wasn’t until about 12 weeks but my baby is 6 weeks and I’m noticing they don’t feel as full. I am hoping my supply isn’t dipping. I have bit of an oversupply and need to keep it for when I go back to work and am mostly pumping 😔

Edit: *Breast but I can’t change the title

I have noticed that my baby (5 weeks) gets fussy toward the end of the night. From about 6-8/8:30 he is frustrated nursing and cluster feeds a bit until he passes out. With my daughter I was triple feeding and noticed that I had less milk at night. I believe I have a bit of an oversupply but suspect that at night it’s not flowing as freely (I also have a nasty bleb on one side that won’t go away). Anyone have these issues at night and any suggestions? I’m happy to top off with pumped milk if necessary but it’s not ideal since I’m putting him and my toddler to bed around the same time. Thanks for any input!
