heretohelp asked:


I know that everyone says that milk supply is based on supply and demand and that the more often you nurse, the more milk you’ll produce. Well, what do you do in the meantime when you have a hungry, crying baby? I don’t want to use formula, and people (lactation consultants and various other people online) say that I should have enough to feed my baby breastmilk exclusively.

Matahari asked:


My baby is two weeks old. I breastfeed during the day plus I pump some extra milk so my husband can feed the baby from the bottle at night. That means about 9 hours break for me. My friend today told me, that this way my milk supply is going to decrease, so I asked another girlfriend and she said that your body will do what you get it used to. So where is the truth, is my milk supply going to decrease or no?
But then how is possible that some women can breastfeed for over a year, although I believe they don’t nurse a year old baby at night…?
