Hi there,
I am a mother of 2 and got pregnant with dd only 9 months after ds. I breast fed ds until and throughout my pregnancy as my OB said my milk had dried up anyways. Now here I am, a healthy, strong 26 year old with extremely low milk supplies and any time I exercise or get a little bit stressed out.
I am taking all sorts of supplements to maximize my milk amounts but am having very little luck. I was wondering how its possible that just 1 year ago my body was able to support a very chunky baby boy, while living a very active life, and now I hardly have enough for a smaller girl no matter what I do?
I am also wondering if the fact that my body had no time to recover between pregnancy and nursing could be the reason why I'm struggling so much with my milk. I am a very health minded person with a large appetite. ...I don't know how I don't have enough milk! Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank u!
