4 Ways to Prevent Your Breast Milk Supply from Dropping

1. I added an extra feed

Not the hospital one who saw me for 11 minutes but a real, private one who actually watched a full feed and reassured me and answered my 1 million questions. If you haven't seen one yet — go. If yours didn't feel right — find a different one. They are not one size fits all!

2. I took a chill pill and went with the flow.

My supply anxiety was literally creating my supply problem. Stress suppresses prolactin and oxytocin — the two hormones you need to make and release milk. The moment I loosened my grip and stopped treating every feed like a test I might fail, my body responded. Now I'm still going at 12 months.

3. I hired a lactation consultant.

Not the hospital lactattion consultant who only saw me for 11 minutes but a real, private consultant who actually watched a full feed and reassured me and answered my 1 million questions. If you haven't seen one yet — go. If yours didn't feel right — find a different one. They are not one size fits all!

4. I started taking Plenty Postpartum

I had tried the cookies, the teas, and the herbal supplements that delivered approximatelyyyyyy nothing. What I hadn't tried was actually addressing the root cause.

My body wasn't failing at breastfeeding, it was depleted.

Plenty gave me the clean nutrients I was actually missing — and within two weeks I felt the shift not just in my milk supply but in energy, mood, and how I walked into every moment as a mom.
