Stool softener lowered milk production
So I was taking stool softeners every day for 3x a day since I left the hospital. Since having our baby boy about a month ago I’ve been pumping consistently 10 oz per session and about 4-6 sessions a day. Well after beginning the colace my production began to slowly drop and I couldn’t figure it out. I tried everything finally after noticing how chapped my lips had become I thought to myself what could be affecting moisture in my body. I quit the colace a couple of days ago and my production is back to normal 💗
PS yes I am the same girl that was complaining about producing too much well I experienced the alternative and it sucks. 😂

It’s interesting that you say this because I’ve continued to take the stool softener ever since I gave birth and now I’m wondering if it’ll help if I stop. I might give it a try and see if it helps with my supply
