Sick and Decrease in Supply

wendy25

I was very sick last week with a stomach virus and strep throat. I know I was dehydrated so my supply suffered. I've been better since last weekend but my supply has not picked up to where it was before I got sick. Before I got sick I pumped 2x at work and I got 8oz. Now I get 4oz total from 2 pumping sessions. I nurse DS before work, during lunch, 2x before bed, and 1 during the night. He doesn't seem to complain about not getting enough. But I'm bummed that I'm going to have to start sending a bottle of formula to day care since my freezer stash is now gone. 

Has anyone else experienced this? If so, did your supply ever come back?

bizarre i had stomach virus and strep too!  i took more milk plus but my supply came back 10 days later - after i stopped taking amoxicillin.  gl.

I just took my last pill of amoxicillian yesterday so hopefully it will increase again. I didn't even think that would affect my supply but it makes sense.

Also had the stomach flu and could not get rehydrated for the life of me.  It's taking time and slowly getting better.
