Did your milk supply drop around 5-6 months?
With DS#1, I went back to work at 4m so I assumed my milk supply dropped because I couldn't pump consistently. My milk supply dropped drastically at around 6m.
I work part time now and I EBF DS#2. I feel like my milk supply is dropping big time once again. If I try to pump, barely anything comes out and I don't feel like my boobs get really full the way they used to. I keep thinking my pump is broken but I don't feel "full" like I need to pump either.
Is it normal for milk supply to drop once DS starts solids?
DS gets only 1-2 servings of solids per day.

I have the medela freestyle. i considered purchasing a new pump but I figured I wouldn't be BFing for much longer. I don't like the idea of BFing someone with teeth. DS already bites down with his gums.
I used to have a ravenous appetite but no longer. I have been eating less and better because I'm trying to lose weight.
