This maybe a stupid question but can the amount of breast milk produced change from each pregnancy? I wasn't able to produce much with my daughter and I was just curious about the possibilities with this babe.

Yes definitely. Depended on health & diet.
I produced soooo much more milk with my first 2 and this time I have a low supply. But I was lactose the whole time so I didn’t have all the calcium I needed.

I have produced way more with my second baby then I ever did with my first. I was lucky to produce an ounce or two a day. Now I EBF and still pump 5-10 ounces a day. I only pump twice a day, so probably could get more if I pumped more.

@knockout @reevespartyof4 thank you both!! I wasn't sure if it was a possibility or not!!

@cit0.bunni, No problem!
if you still feel you are struggling with supply there are a lot of foods that boost it, plus fenugreek pills, and lactose cookies!

@knockout It was discouraging with my first. I tried so much to boost my supply and nothing. I've learned not to be so hard on myself about it. We will see what happens this time around!

@cit0.bunni, definitely! There is nothing wrong with not being able to breastfeed but I agree it is upsetting having your heart set on something and it not working out.
Good luck to you this time around momma!

I was wondering the same thing I really wanted to Brest feed with my first but I promise u I would pump for two hours and only have 2 oz in my bottle 🤦🏻♀️ so anywho I would like to try again this time around and I guess ima b more careful with my diet and also after labor I heard it plays a major part

@cit0.bunni, no problem! Every experience is different. With my first I wasn’t even breast feeding just pumping my son wouldn’t latch on. This time I’m actually breastfeeding and pumping a little. It’s been a completely different experience.
