Drop in supply
I recently had a stomach virus (causing me to throw up every 15minutes for 12hrs before dr prescribed medication). Because of this, I got incredibly dehydrated. I've been back to drinking my usual amount (150oz water), but eating food is just torture. Since all this occurred this weekend, my supply had dropped so significantly. I went from over producing to not even getting .25oz when I pump. My breasts never seem full. Baby has gone from nursing 10-15 minutes to 45 minutes & still doesn't seem happy/full. The ironic thing is I HAD A freezer full of stored milk, but donated 500oz of it the day I got sick...and now I feel like I can't even feed my own baby. Any suggestions how to get it my supply back? I'm literally in tears devastated over this. BF has meant so much to me. I started getting up at night to pump, and increasing the pumps I'm doing at work. I'm obviously stressed about this, which I'm sure is making it worse. I eat oatmeal daily, drink a lot of water, etc. Any help, suggestions, or experiences would be great. My daughter is 4m. Thank you
