3 month growth spurt-drop in milk supply?
I've noticed she is having a growth spurt and the past two nights, I'm pumping about 1.5 oz. less at my 3am pumping....Is this normal??
I've also noticed that her diapers aren't as wet as they have been in these past two days... She is pooping up to 3x a day though....
Please tell me this isn't a drop.......

I might be totally off, but I think it's holiday related. I pump exclusively, and my supply has taken a definite hit this week. I swear it's the stress of the holidays and once life goes back to normal, the supply returns. Looking back, the same thing happened to me around Thanksgiving.

Mine has def. dropped, and I had one beer on christmas eve to see if that would do anything, I got alot of milk after that, but didnt feel all that comfortable with giving to dd, so i dumped milk. I think im going to go and buy that F stuff that everyone talks about. And see if that helps.

I'm frustrated... I'm drinking a ton of water and tea today so hopefully it improves!

I think it is your body figuring out your supply and demand. I noticed the same thing around the same time with DD but I don't pump. After a week or two I noticed I dind't need to feed her as much.

That happened to me too about 3 1/2 months...I started taking fenugreek & now at 5 1/2 months my supply seems to be normal again (I'm exclusively pumping).

 Yes, it's exhausting. It's the only way I can get a large amount for a bottle for DH for the next day or if I want to get my nails done or something.

Thanks everyone! At least I know I'm not alone!
