Hi Nancy. Again just a personal point of view. Two years ago while nursing
my two year old I miscarried at 13 weeks. I had not noticed any change in
milk supply at all which I had been told would decrease as the pregnancy
went along.
(Is this true?)
In retrospect maybe this was because the pregnancy did not develop beyond
ten weeks so this did not happen. In any case there was no change once I
miscarried.
