Silly question about periods

Yes, that helps. Thanks.  Funnily enough even the throw we have on his nursing chair is a distraction for him at the moment.

I can't work out what character type DS is as he swings wildly between them all (even angel a little bit of the time).  Only thing I can't really ever say he's been is a textbook type.

two of my friends experienced a dip in supply when they got their periods.  so they began supplementing with formula more but are still BF'ing.

You've gotten great advice.  I just wanted to chime in that first, yes, it's perfectly normal.    And 2nd, please don't look at how much you pump as an indication of your supply.  Your lo can get more out of you than you can pump.  Some women, even with oversupply, can hardly pump a drop.  It's just how their bodies resond to a pump.  {{hugs}}  I just didn't wnat you to be discouraged if you saw a small output.

That's definitely true, clh.  I BF my DS 4 times/day when I'm home and he seems to be getting enough.  But when I pump, sometimes I only get 3 oz.  I've always been an oversupplier and I'm confident that my DS is getting more than 3 oz when I pump.

When I pump I get a drop or two - DS is a great weight etc so it has no bearing on how much he gets from me.  The more you stress about pumping too, the less you will get
