Sickness and Supply

So this weekend, Elsie came down with a tummy bug. She vomited a total of 4 times over 2 days. Now I've got the tummy bug! Plus my first PP period just started. And my supply has disappeared almost entirely. So sad!

Anyone else experience this? Any tips on getting your supply to come back? I tried so hard to stay hydrated to minimize this possibility. Thanks in advance.

    DH and I both got a Noro type virus at the beginning of May. It was terrible, vomiting and diarrhea...often simultaneously. I pushed Gatorade tried to eat crackers and nursed through. My supply was down for about a week, but beer and oatmeal after I was recovered did the trick.

    Feel better!


    Thank you, kittynap!

    Ugh supply drop due to sickness is my worst nightmare!! It's happened to me twice but I was able to recover fairly quickly taking fenugreek, drinking mothers milk tea and consuming an ungodly amount of water and calories. We're talking like at least 100 oz of water and I don't even want to know how many calories. I also eat oatmeal for breakfast everyday an I sprinkle a little flax meal in there too, which also helps with production. I also pump after every nurse until i get back to my normal output. I work full time and pump while at work so thats how i gauge my production but I nurse anytime DS and I are together. Good luck and don't give up!!
