Stomach Bug

I'm an exclusive pumper and am sick today with stomach virus... I can't keep any liquids down let alone food. I'm so worried it'll affect my supply!! anyone been thru this or something similar? Any tips??

You'll rebound! Keep trying to hydrate yourself and take care of yourself. Your supply may dip for a day or two, but it will bounce back. Keep pumping as you usually would to keep the demand the same. 

I had a virus like that with my first, a 24 hour bug where nothing stayed down, and it was just a very temporary dip in supply.

I had a fever out of no where 3 weeks ago and lost 5 oz- im an ep er too. then a week ago I got super super sick and I lost another 5 oz. Other than keep pumping and drink liquids I have no other advice. LO now has to have formula one time a day because I no longer make enough for him and we have blown through my meager freezer stash. I was always a just enougher.
