any mummies here got pregnant again even before LO reach 6 mths? how do u cope with low supply? do u wean off your LO? im trying all means to get my supply back and have been pumping and latching but to no avail. I feel bad for not providing enough BM for the minimal 6 mths for my LO and i dnt hope to wean him off.

I do not have any personal experiences but was curious after reading your question. Here is what I’ve gathered. Basically, the decrease in supply is due to hormonal changes and may be difficult to increase. However, some mothers mentioned that eating well may help. Eating well and enough is also important because it will ensure that the mother, baby and the unborn fetus are all receiving enough nutrients. As a guide, if the nursing child is younger than six months old, the mother will need an additional 650 calories a day. If the baby has started on solids, the mother will still need around 500 calories. These are on top of the 350 (for second trimester) and 450 (for third trimester) calories that one will need during pregnancy. In general, if the mother is healthy and having a normal pregnancy, it will be her choice whether to continue breastfeeding. It will not be easy but I've read of many cases where mothers successfully breastfeeding through pregnancy and carried on with tandem feeding. I think you can consider continuing for as long as you can, but also supplementing with either solids or formula if you are worried that your baby is not getting enough nutrients due to the decrease in supply. This will also help take some stress off from you.
