Also these are separate supplements than the prenatals I still take that do have both magnesium and calcium in them in small amounts
Unfortunately that’s a common thing that happens. With my first child I came to peanut with that question and many people said calcium and magnesium together works to prevent the dip and it really does work
It's not exactly low supply, the milk can taste different (saltier) so babes refuses and then supply can reduce. Baby should cluster when they realise the milk has gone back to normal to bring the supply back up again afterwards.
@Kirsten interesting. My baby has never refused breast on my period or not but I have noticed it go down even tho she’s feeding normally. I have heard the hormones can make it taste different though
@Kiki my girl hasn't refused either, but they could still be taking in less, thus the drop 🤷🏼♀️ I pump 3 days a week at work and haven't noticed a difference in supply when I have my period.
I also asked my OB before starting magnesium/calcium and he said there’s no science that backs it but it doesn’t hurt to try. I wish there was more research done on women’s health because this would be such helpful information for women struggling with the same thing if it was “proven” to be a thing that works and helps
