A member asked:
I am breastfeeding for 3 months now, but it seems my supply has dropped drastically. could it be because of the microval birth control im using? im also on espiride once a day, should i increase my dosage? my supply was stable, am i drying up?

Breast feeding ?: Microval ( a progestin oral contraceptive) will not by itself decrease breast milk. Espiride can be used to increase breast milk supply, but if this is not occurring, supplement with formula for your infant. Breast feed to start, but add formula to supply nutritional needs.
