Hey guys! Struggling with milk supply at the moment. Midwifes say it's fine as we have plenty of nappies. But Ariana is on my breast almost 24/7 and I don't leak at all. When I pump I barely get three ounces! Anyone else been through this?! HELP!! Xx
I will be 41 :/
Short Luteal Phase? I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Things I never thought I'd say... Until I became a mom:
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no, his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?

That’s pretty normal. When dd was born, she would be latched on 24/7. They cluster feed to help your milk come in and help your supply level out to where it needs to be.
I have never leaked and we’ve been nursing going on 14 months.
Also your pumping output is not a good indicator of how much milk you’re producing. Babies are much more effective at getting your milk than a pump is. You’re doing great mama! As long as you’re getting wet diapers and your baby is gaining, don’t worry.

@southerngirl.89 thanks hun! Words of encouragement really help when your struggling with feeding! I did think that dd was cluster feeding but it has been about 3 weeks now that it's been constant feeding so I'm not so sure now! I wish there was an easy way to measure the production!
