Tips to dry up milk supply? I woke up dying this morning 😣

Zertec,prednisone,a shot from the doctor. Decreasing pumping times. My milk keeps dropping. I don't want it to. Would you like to trade?

They use to get a shot from the doctor to dry it up. I believe it only takes a week.

@santanaanna

My milk supply dropped significantly in three days so now I'm just trying to dry up the last little bit, I can only feed her twice a day it's so low. @shellymakuk93,

Oh okay. Well prednisone or zertec will help. You should probably only take zertec if you have allergies. Howd you keep your supply up for that long? Do you nurse or did you just pump?

Also do you use birth control because mine was a cause of it drying up too.

I was just at nursing her on demand. One week I was looking at donating my milk because I had an over supply and the next it was just gone. I took Benedryl yesterday, maybe I'll keep using that. @shellymakuk93,

Why do you want to dry then

To me it's not worth it to be able to only feed her every 12 hours and have to still take precautions of nursing (no certain types of medication, no drinking, nursing bras, etc) and I'm not on birth control so I really don't know what cause my supply to drop that badly.

@shellymakuk93,

Hmmm. Well i was told for the first three months its based on hormones after that its based on stimulation. It seems to be common to dry up around this time though

I drink still. I do what i want i just to have wait a certain number of hours
