Breastfeeding With Sleeve

Hi All,

My DD is a couple weeks shy of 7 months. I am getting sleeved on Jan. 22. She has been breastfed since birth and now since she is eating solids, I have began storing pumped milk. My goal is to BF until she is 12-15 months. I spoke to my PCP and she is a little concerned that with the drastic cut in calories, I won't produce any milk or nutritious milk. I plan on still taking prenatal, Fenugreek, and other Vitamins to keep my supply up, but I am wondering if I will need to start the weening process now pre-op. Any thoughts?

Broths were able to keep up my supply. I never felt it was the calories that increased my supply. My daughter wanted full solids at 8mos and my son didn’t get off the boob until 2.5 years. So you never know what the baby wants, either.
