Hello! I had to pump 3 times for a while, i struggled making enough for both of my boys. I had to eat so much!! As soon as i didn't get enough calories or exercised too much my supply would plummet. I honestly made exactly enough each day. After they started eating solids the amount they drank was more stable and didn't increase as much. Good luck!!

i had a lot of guilt about not exercising but i really wanted to be able to continue breastfeeding so i just let it go. 🙂 I am now working on getting back into my exercise routine. Slowly but surely i will be able to be back in shape.
That is so interesting, thanks so much for sharing! I recently got wire braces, which I feel like cut the foods I can eat in half so I'm working hard to find meals and snacks that are easy to eat while still being caloric (soup is not cutting it). I've been feeling guilty for not being able to find time to exercise but maybe it's actually a good thing 🙂
