not purducing breast milk

My daughter is 2 months old and I have been breast feeding her but for the last two days I have not been able to purduce any milk is there a reason why?

Is there a possiblity of pregnancy? What makes you think you are not producing milk?

Have you tried pumping?  Its important to keep stimulating the breasts to produce milk.

You need to make sure you are draining your breasts every 2-3 hours and drinking a LOT of fluid.  If you are supplementing, it's slowing your supply.  After you nurse each time, pump for 10-15 min. on each side. There are also a few natural herbs you can take- I used fenugreek- but check with your lactation consultant or dr. first.  Nurse more often and make sure you are emptying.  Good luck
