Milk recovery after being sick

Ninjamama86

I've been sick the last few days and my milk supply has absolutely tanked. Has anyone else been sick, had a decrease in milk, and recovered?? I had to pump/dump after taking an antibiotic, and I have only pumped 12 oz since noon yesterday. We've already been on the fence about switching to formula, this might be the straw that breaks the camels back.

I've been sick twice, and took pretty big hits in my supply.  It usually returned to normal within a week (depending how long I was sick) after I was better.  Lots of water, mother's milk tea, fenugreek, lactation cookies, or whatever

I was sick a few weeks ago. My milk tanked, and then came back afterwards. I had to drink a lot to help it tho

I've been sick a couple times and my supply tanked as well. But mine also came back within about a week (not before lots of stressing about it though!). Try to drink lots of water!
