Hey netters, Let me throw this into the equation regarding a drop in BM
supply at 4 months. As Per, Counseling the Nursing Mother, By Judith
Lauwers and Candace Woessner, Page 136, "The the milk yield of a
well-nourished woman will rise steadly from birth to six months and then
begin to decline slowly." Here are their average yields of breast milk.
.
Month Postpartum Volume(oz/day)
0 20.3
1 26.5
2 28.4
6 27.8
6-12 18.6
12-24 15.2
So, what is the norm, or is there one? If there is a drop at the 4 month
mark for what ever reason, It is not really reflected in the above info.
More food for thought
