A. It's normal for breastfeeding patterns to change as babies grow and become more efficient at nursing. Here are some points to consider: 1. **Breastfeeding Duration:** Babies often become more efficient at breastfeeding around 7 months old, so shorter feeding times can be normal. 2. **Milk Supply During Period:** It is common for milk supply to dip slightly when you get your period due to hormonal changes. However, this usually doesn't significantly impact breastfeeding and typically returns to normal within a few days. 3. **Continue Breastfeeding:** You can and should continue to breastfeed your baby. Your milk supply will likely adjust, and continuing to nurse frequently can help maintain your supply. 4. **Stay Hydrated and Nourished:** Ensure you are drinking plenty of fluids and eating a balanced diet to support milk production. If you notice a significant drop in milk supply or your baby seems hungry or unsatisfied after feeds, it might be helpful to consult a lactation consultant or your pediatrician. They can provide personalized advice and support.
