So I was feeling under the weather this weekend and took mucinex for 2 days. I started work on Monday and didn't want to be sick. Well my pumping supply went down drastically and I freaked. Thought it was the stress of coming back to work. Well come to find out that decongestants can dry you up quick, so I spent most of the night and morning having LO stuck to my boob to try and get my supply back to where it normally is so I can keep giving him milk at daycare. I am going to go get Funegrrek today and mothers milk tea. I have also been chugging water and eating oatmeal for breakfast.
Anyone else have issues with building your supply back up? What did you do?
