Random Supply - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

It feels like my supply is random.

One day I'm super full. So full that I'm lumpy, sore, and leaking all over. That will last a couple days and then I suddenly feel like I don't have enough and baby seems to agree. Nothing seems to be different except the amount of milk I'm producing. What's up with the random supply? Anyone else experience this?

Baby is almost 6wks old and he is my 6th, all BF'ed. I never had this with them. It's a different experience every time.

It's still so early. Your body is just figuring things out. I know i felt the same way at times until my supply regulated.

I'm 11 days in and I swear my boobs can tell time! 3 hours and they start leaking. I couldn't miss a night feeding if I tried.

I remember them being wonky until 6 weeks. I hope you get to feeling more even and regulated soon
