Yes, that’s exactly what happened to us. I was able to nurse my first daughter for a full year with no problems at all. Then my first son I only managed to nurse for like 9 months, then my second son for 6 months. As you can see the more kids we had it seemed the less milk I produced. Then my third son whom this post is about I only nursed him exclusively for 6 months as well and then along with the supplemental milk I gave him whatever else I had of my own. For my second daughter which was my fifth and last child I only could give her 3 months of my milk :( It was so disappointing but I was easy on myself because I had just gone through all of this with my son.

It’s tough when you have plans and goals for your kids but are unable to reach them. I know several mothers who have trouble producing milk. I also know some who purchase milk at milk banks instead of using formulas.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for your warm comment. I hope your wife wasn’t hard on herself when she couldn’t reach her production goals. We can only try hard and do our best :)
