Decreased Milk Supply After 2 Months.
I didn't know that breast milk production slows down after 6-8 weeks unless the mother nurses very often. I breastfeed my baby. But when he started sleeping for longer periods at about 1 month old, I let him sleep. I thought it would be better for him and his parents as well rather than wake him up to breastfeed. Of course, I didn't use a pump that much either - I was catching up on sleep. Now my breast milk supply is running so low, I have to give him more formula. Where it used to be a single 5 oz. bottle a day, now it could be up...
