My supply varied during pregnancy. #1 was 3yo when #2 was born so she used
to comment. At about 5 weeks she said it tasted "funny" but still liked it.
My supply went down round 23-30 weeks. Round 25ish weeks she commented there
was no milk, but a week later it had returned. She didn't like the taste of
the milk after #2 was born. She self weaned about a month after #2 was born.
I did find my nipples got sore quickly for feeding, particularly when the
milk supply was low.
