Sick and my supply is tanking :(

I have a cold and I'm noticing my supply is getting low. Do you think once I'm better it will go back up or could this be the end for us. My goal is to make it till she is 6 months.so I'm almost there and would be sad if we had to stop.

    When I was BFing my supply tanked when I was sick and recovered.  Maybe try pumping more often.  I would pump every 2 hours until my supply was back to normal.  GL!

    It could be that you're dehydrated.  I'd keep drinking as much as possible.

    Also, be sure not to drop nursing sessions.  Keep nursing as much as you can, since that will stimulate your body to increase milk production.

    Drink LOTS of water and keep nursing/pumping.  Wear a mask if your afraid of getting LO sick.
