Is it possible for my breast milk to run out?

No: Your breasts may get emptied after a feeding but they will fill back up as long as tthe stimulation of a feeding infant persists.

Yes: If a baby is drinking (or vigorous trying to drink) breastmilk from the breasts, faster than the breasts can make milk, then it would appear that the milk runs out.

Yes: Breast feeding is "demand and production" if for any reason you do not keep up with the infants needs and nurse as frequently as he needs you may not produce enough milk.
