Supply dropping while sick ?

ab&jim

So I've been sick for about a week. A typical head cold. First one brought home from daycare. My supply has been fine until yesterday/today. I'm getting way less when I pump while at work and don't know what gives. I'm actually drinking more fluids b/c of my sore throat and feel like I'm eating the same amount.

Will my supply go back up after I'm recovered? I am continuing to pump every 2 hours while DD is at daycare and whenever we're together I'm BFing. She isn't eating any less when we're together, so I'm just wondering why is it dropping now.

Any suggestions/advice about what to do would be appreciated. TIA.

Your supply could just be regulating. A lot of times that happens around 12wk and you stop the oversupply you had been in and adjust to making what you need only.
