Less Milk During Period?

[suz]

Am I crazy, but each time my period nears, I seem to produce less milk. I was so afraid that I was drying up that I started eating oatmeal and drinking mother's milk tea. This is my second period and I've noticed this pattern. Now that it is over, my output seems to be regular again.

Has anyone else notice this?

Susan,

Although I've never noticed it (I didn't get my first period until my son was 20 months old), I've heard that many women experience this problem. I'm sure it has to do with the hormone fluctuation at that time. I wouldn't worry too much, just keep eating your oatmeal.
