Breastfeeding and getting your period

Using picture to not get lost. I am almost 4 months postpartum and I have gotten 2 periods now (just started my 2nd one) I am exclusively breast feeding and pumping but my supply kicks down so bad when I get my period any advice or tricks to help out with supply. I don’t want to start formula for only a week then take her off again.

It’s normal for your supply to drop during periods due to the change in hormones. Just keep feeding or/and pumping, staying hydrated, eating plenty and try get as much rest as you can (easier said than done I know) Coconut water and an electrolyte drink worked wonders for me xx

I’ve heard you can take a calcium/magnesium supplement 3 days before your period (if you track it) and during your period which helps supply a bit! I don’t have personal experience with it though (haven’t got my period back yet).

Your baby is so pretty btw🥹🤗
