3 MONTHS PP and just got my period. Should’ve suspected it was coming because my supply has taken a major dip since last week. I return to work tomorrow and will be pumping when away from baby and direct feeding when home. But I’m so anxious and spiraling about this supply decrease.

- will it bounce back? If so, when?
- does anyone know of any interventions to prevent this dip?
- I was a major under supplier with my first and was filled so much joy this time because my supply seems to be matching baby’s demands. But since last week I notice she’s been waking up more to nurse overnight and when I pump once a day to give myself a little cushion space, the volumes have gone from 7-8oz combined to 4oz combined which is a huge drop!

Any input would be appreciated. Thank you!

Curious what thoughts are on this

I have the Eufy S1 and I use size 17mm inserts nursi Luna which are comfy during the pump session. And I have found that I respond the best to the natural cycle. However, I notice that the right nipple is kinda stuck in the insert when I go to take it out post pump session. I’m guessing it’s bc it’s swelling or misaligned? And the left nipple also hurts post pump - a sharp pain intermittently. I only use this pump once in a while but have noticed it every time. No visible nipple trauma.

I’ve seen my LC who recommended the size 17mm inserts. We tried one size down and one size up which were not as comfortable during the pump. I use pumping spray but still not improvement.

Any tips? Thank you!
