running dry help!

so I have been having health issues while bfing. went to hospital for dehydration even though I'm drinking constantly. now I'm anemic so in taking iron then yesterday I fainted on the kitchen floor ( baby was in a swing thank god) and I've been dizzy with headaches for 2 weeks now. dr said bfing is draining me out so I thought instead of giving up completely I'd alternate feeding from bf to ff. last night I was so engorged it was rediculous. my breats were rock solid and baby could barely get a latch. this morning I woke up to pancakes!! there's barely a drop of milk in them idk what to do and have no idea how I could dry
up literally overnight ! I'm so upset I want to bf a few times a day still and now there's nothing left!? any advice on how to get it back???

    I would probably check with your doctor but fenugreek helped with my supply last time and I also tried mothers milk drops. Hope you start feeling better.

    Do you have a pump? I would pump in addition to nursing a few times a day. Maybe have baby nurse then give formula. The sucking will stimulate your body to make milk
