I didn't say it so directly, but I know that's how it works..... Chantelle "I am about to lose my milk. I'm having to give a couple of bottles now, and this makes me very depressed.. " Your body regulates the amount of milk you produce according to the amount of time that your child is at your breast. Your body does not just make endless amounts of milk. It is perfectly controlled by the baby. If you are giving bottles and not nursing your body thinks it needs to produce less milk because it thinks the body needs less milk. The best thing to do to increase milk supply is to NOT give supplements, but let your child nurse on demand. I know this from experience. The first two days will be hellish with your child crying and nursing constantly and then your milk supply will increase and you will be fine. Your child also goes through natural growth spurts at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. This may be slightly different for each child. During that time it may appear that your child is not getting enough milk because they seem like they are hungry without being satisfied. But if you will keep nursing through this period in a couple of days your body will start producing more. This is the way your body was designed to work. Giving supplemental bottles is a downhill slide to having no milk supply because with each extra bottle you give your body will produce less milk. Take my word for it. Jill Pettis I agree with what Jill said. I didn’t say it so directly, but I know that’s how it works…..

Pick a day that you stay consistence with... I do every Friday. The SB website says this, and I believe it's the best way to keep a record. Has anyone been watching NBC "The Biggest Loser" show? The second week weigh in was last night [Tuesday] and the gals averaged 2# per person. The guys are all over 300# so they lost more per se, but those gals were disappointed. You have to remember that this [2#] is a normal amount of weight to lose in 7 days.
