I could use some good vibes...

So my husband and I have the norovirus. For anyone who hasn't had it, let me tell you, it is hell on earth. Thankfully my sweet baby hasn't gotten it yet, but my supply is starting to tank and we are struggling to even get through the day. If anyone has any advice on how to keep my supply up while barely being able to eat or drink I would really really appreciate it.

    I was sick last week and after just one day of not keeping anything down my supply tanked. I had to take lots of fenugreek, drank tons of water, and nursed a lot and it came back but it was the lowest it's ever been! I hope you guys feel better soon!

  • uuugh!  That is the WORST!  Hope you feel better soon and LO stays healthy!

  • I've had the norovirus twice, once in Disney and once over Super Bowl. It was awful. Luckily the baby did not get it thank god but 8 other people at the superbowl party did and one went to the ER. Good part the throwing up usually only lasts like 8 hours but it took me three days total to recover. Good luck.

  • @crunchymama11‌ is right about the coconut water. That stuff is amazing.

    Just keep up with what you can with pumping and feeding it should come back when you are on the mend.

    I had norovirus when I was pg with DD2 and nursing DD1. It was awful but everything worked itself out.

    Thanks for all the advice, esp. the coconut water, I would have never thought of that! The vomiting and body aches have finally stopped, now just dealing with a gurgly stomach and dehydration.
