I was sick with the stomach bug over the weekend. Now my supply has tanked. I'm assuming they are related. I pumped out way less than usual yesterday and today. And for the past 2 days LO has been on me non-stop, probably not getting the amount she is used to. Now I don't know what to do. Do I let her stay on me all night hoping that will build my supply back up but possibly leave her hungry, which sounds terrible, or supplement a bottle which could also tank my supply? What would you guys do? Looking for advice.

I just nurse as baby wants. I am not sure if that is the right thing to do but it works for us.

I pump at work. At home its more difficult to do. I'm going to drink lots of water and keep my fingers crossed.

Drink lots of water and maybe take some fenugreek until you feel your supply is back up to where you need it to be.

I have no expertise or help to offer but I wish you the best! That's got to be frustrating.

Same as pp said. Lots of water and pet LO nurse as much as possible.

Thanks so much for the advice and support. I felt so bad- daycare commented about how hungry she was today. Luckily I always pack more food and bottles than she usually drinks, so she had plenty. I'm drinking water and eating. So far things are going well tonight. She's been on me the same as a typical night. Hoping we turn the corner.
