A nasty virus has wreaked havoc on our house this week. I've got it too and between that and R being so stuffy and having trouble nursing my supply has totally tanked. I have been downing fluids and just ordered some More Milk Plus capsules (overnight!) I've been pumping after feeds as well.
Does this happen to you? Any other tips?

Mine always did with Xander (don't know yet with Logan). I had to up my fluids and add pumping sessions, but doing that usually helped get it back up.

Yes. It always came back, though! There were some days I would pump a measly 1/2 oz when I was sick. It was so sad and so disappointing!!

@mediagirl: ugh yes. I can't pump shit. Was M upset when that happened or did you supplement?

Mine always dropped when I got sick but damn, i could never recover it back! No matter how much fenugreek or pumping sessions I added!

@winniebee: I don't recall her being upset or anything. If you remember, I was sick a LOT after she started daycare. She just dealt with it, I guess. But, she got 3 bottles a day at daycare so maybe she made up for it on those when I wasn't around?
