Is it normal for my breast to feel empty? I'm still producing milk, and he's eating regularly. But they don't feel like they're getting full anymore & I've been eating all kinds of food to boost production. I'm worried I'm going dry but I don't understand why. 😔
So I have question I'm 23 weeks and I thought a 9 lbs weight gain was good but now I'm re thinking it what is normal at this stage is it to much I'm stressing out I am really watching what I eat and I really don't over eat sad mommy here 😔
I'm still trying to get a feel for this app but are there any STAHM here?
Ok I'm 15 And Pregnant And I Don't Know What To Do. I'm Just A Freshman In High School.
I don't understand!!! ? What does it mean to "feel some type of way"?!? I keep seeing it all of a sudden and I feel like I misses the memo. I asked on a thread but nobody answered and it's still eating at me! Lol! I need someone to help me keep up with the youngsters. I'm old and lost. ?
Do you have to eat good in order to breastfeed? My MiL always asks if I'm eating good and I tell her yea just because I don't want to argue with her (I only eat like once or twice if I'm lucky a day) but I mean, there are women in third world countries who breastfeed and I'm sure they rarely eat themselves too. She always says that if I don't eat proper meals throughout the day my milk will 'dry up' is this true??

@hallek129 no you produce milk all the time. ALL the time thats how you become engorged and you feel full cause you actually are. When my son was born he would only nurse on one side and i didn't try the other side because it would get is both frustrated. It was because i was too full on that side and he couldn't get a latch. @debdeb1 you can feel empty, try upping your water intake. Water is key for milk production and nursing. No pumping. And remember you only produce as much as he needs the more he needs the more you produce, the less he needs the less you produce.

I read that you actually produce milk when they are nursing, not when your boobs feel full. I had the same concern.
