I started taking the mini pill a few weeks back and ever since I started my milk supply has been alot less. Is this normal and will it return as I'm worried that I wont be producing enough milk.

Im not sure about the mini pill effecting your milk supply, but you coul try taking blesed thistle and fenugreek to boost your supply :)

It's probably a coincidence - your milk supply naturally settles down anywhere between 3 weeks and 3 months after it comes in. You might feel like there's a lot less but it's probably totally 'normal' - remember it isn't actually normal to feel engorged

Thanks weegee I think maybe you are right. I'll try not to stress over it.
Sheena I am already taking milk flow and drinking a milk inhancing tea which seems to help.
