sucking dry

Is there such thing as your baby sucking you dry? I'm breast feeding my son nd I feel like I went to a lot of milk to a lil. My nipples hurt nd I feel like I'm producing less milk.

I literally woke up one morning to deflated boobs and hardly any milk at all. I was pumping constantly, so your milk CAN dry up unexpectedly, your best bet is to call a lactation consultant in your area for advice!

Ok I did some research. The most common things I have come across were drinking coconut milk. Also after you start running out when pumping, you should continue to pump for 2-5 minutes afterward. Its a way of tricking your body into producing more milk "on demand". Your breasts reproduce once it gets low.
I hope this helps.
