Nursing Mom, period question, low in milk ! Posted: 08-14-07 16:48pm
I am a nursing mom and have had my period
for 4 months now. I had my period 2 weeks
ago, on schedule. However I am now
bleeding a lot as if I am having another
period. I also feel as if I am low in
milk. Does any one have any thoughts on
what is going on?
Thank you, for your support.

There might be more insight in the
pregnancy forums....
Most people on the birth control forums
are trying to avoid having children, so we
aren't nursing
Good luck.

Are you on any kind of birth control? It
can dry up milk slightly.
Nursing can cause period changes,
including spotting between periods, or
vene a lighter than usual flow.
nursing is not effective at birth
control, so if you have been having sex,
you may consider taking a pregnancy test.
