AF and milk supply

[froggy76]

How did AF affect your milk supply? DD is 8.5 months old and AF just arrived. My supply has been in the crapper for the last week but actually seems to be improving now. Is it generally just a monthly supply dip, or a more permanent decrease? My supply already sucks

It doesn't seem to affect mine, but it's hard to tell since I respond very poorly to the pump. However, I believe if it affects you it is usually just a dip, not a permanent decrease.

I have a dip each month & then it rebounds.

It always took a dip the week before and then rebounded as I started AF.

I get a monthly dip, but it rebounds.

Glad to hear it comes back. I was starting to worry that this would be the end of BFing for me.

This is how it is for me as well.

I have a supply dip too, but it comes back. Unfortunately, I notice my normal STTN daughter usually will start waking up for a middle of the night nursing session, but after a few days, goes back to STTN.
