A member asked:
Can skipping feedings diminish my milk supply when my baby is 12 weeks?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: By skipping a feeding, you will decrease your milk supply. The more your baby nurses, the more your body knows to make more milk for him/her, and the other way around as well.
