yes mama — your milk supply is just fine!

I feel like a stressor for every mom, especially their first time breastfeeding, is their milk supply regulating. When we first breastfeed our body produces a lot of milk. As we nurse on demand it realizes what baby actually needs and what it doesn’t. This means we stop leaking and being engorged 24/7, leaving most moms assuming their milk is drying up but ironically it’s adjusting to exactly what their baby needs! This typically tends to happen around growth spurts too, so between the two it can lead to stress. This is totally normal and nothing to worry about. If your baby is satisfied after feedings, gaining weight and having wet diapers you’re doing just fine!
