Supply drop

LO and I had colds all last week. We are both feeling much better now but my supply dropped a lot. Even with her waking up two and three times in the night I used to be full in the morning when I woke up. Now they feel like deflated balloons. I have been taking fenugreek capsules to try to increase but it doesn't seem to be helping. Will it just eventually get back to what it was? Any thoughts, suggestions?

    We had the same thing happen when all of us had nasty colds about a month ago. It took a week or  two but it went back to normal. I just kept putting him to the breast, even if he wasn't hungry, because any stimulation should help. (same goes for the pump if you pump at all)

    Did you take anything for your cold? That can contribute to decreasing your supply. But keep fluids and calories up as well as stimulation, and I'm sure it will be back to normal in no time.

    @Eena1242‌ I didn't take anything. I made that mistake last time. But now that I know my supply drops either way maybe I'll take something next time lol.

    Thanks ladies! I think I am drinking plenty. I will try adding a pumping session after LO goes to bed.
