A. Yes it might impact your milk flow so talk to your gynaecologist once about it and try to drink plenty of liquids avd have a healthy and nutritious diet and massage your breast towards nipple and make more skin to skin contact with baby

A. Menstruation can affect breast milk supply, especially during the end of the cycle or during the period. This is due to a decrease in prolactin concentration. At this time, nursing may be uncomfortable, and you might see your baby nursing more frequently due to the decrease in blood supply.

A. If you are breastfeeding your baby, your periods may not return for several months after childbirth. This is because the hormone that causes you to make milk, prolactin, also stops you from ovulating and having your period. If you are breastfeeding day and night, it can be up to a year before your period returns.Menstruation can affect your milk supply, especially during the end of the cycle or during your period.
