Milk supply after birth when having menses

Is it true that milk supply will eventually stop when menses is here? (Currently about 8week after birth) Is it possible to continue bf more than 6mo even menses has come? I was sad and emo when I found out. Didn’t expect it to come to early (for my #2) as i pump for 9mo for my #1.

Milk supply won’t stop but will decrease a lot Yes even you bf, menses will come. Just that can be within few months or 1-2 years later. My menses came after 4 months PP when I was bf. So I had to bear it for 5-7 days

Hey! My period came back at 4 months pp. It didn't really affect my milk supply as I latch on demand + balanced diet + more water!

Not really. I had menses and still bfing Lo 13 month. What I use to maintain supply is eat milk booster food.

I am abt 6 weeks pp. My menses came back last week but am still producing milk n breastfeeding my bb.

Milk supply will drop temporarily, not stop. Taking calcium will help
