oversupply to undersupply?

[~*erin*~]

interesting ... I don't normally feel "full" but the last 2 days, I feel especially empty. Don't know what's going on, LO doesn't seem extra hungry, in fact she seems less hungry, less often. Sat and Sun night she only woke for 1 NF, then last night, up for 2 NF again 1 step forward, 5 back, it feels.

1 step forward, 5 back, it feels.

I know what you mean, LO wakes for a NF at 5.30am 2 in a row and I get all excited about the amount of great sleep I'm finally able to get and then surprise, NF at 3am again for the next week.

yah.... I've only had the 2 good nights these past nights, and then it's her usual 1130pm and 33am .... and with her crappy naps, I really can't go on like this much longer. I don't know what else to do.

If you're thinking of engorgement as feeling "full", then it's totally normal not to be engorged once milk supply settles down.  It doesn't mean you're not producing milk, just that you're not producing too much milk.

Everything is back in working order! Phew, it gave me a scare.
It must have been the lack of water. I never expected it to have such a huge influence and so quickly. In the future I will make sure I drink plenty.

Thanks all!
