Supply Lower when sick?

In the last couple of days I have noticed my milk supply has lowered? My LO is 6 weeks so it should only be increasing... I have been fighting a cold, has anyone experienced lower milk production when not feeling the greatest?

My baby was sick before I was and he wasn't eating as much so I'm not sure if it was that that decreased my supply but I did notice a decrease in supply when him & I were both sick. He was also recovering and had his appetite back (for the most part)

I think this can happen.  Keep your fluids up, that should help!
