Massive cake binge = Increase in supply!?

[AmeliePoulain]

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this...but in the past few weeks I have noticed something a little bit odd

We were only holiday a couple of weeks ago and all week I indulged in large amounts of cake, milkshakes, double portions of dinner At first I thought it was a coincidence but within a few days of the holiday I was getting rock hard boobs and even the odd bit of leakage, which I didnt even get in the early days!

Came back from holiday, stopped eating like a piggy and my boobs returned to normal.

Anyway the past couple of days I have been very greedy again, lots of cake, trifle...yummy....and once again today I seem to have an amazing supply. My daughter didnt seem to know what on earth was going on when she came off the boob for a nosy around and she got sprayed in the face

Does this happen to anyone else?....should I be eating more cake on a regular basis?

This is great, I find that the more I drink and eat the more I produce as well.. I often spray across the room *I SWEAR* lol

Of course! So basically this means we all HAVE to eat more cake. It's a small price to pay for the sake of our LO's
