I can always use that. </p> <p>And in not sure if LO is hungry. I guess I just assumed she was with all of these middle of the night feedings she's been waking up for all of a sudden </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-bug-and-supply-tanking#post-2293321 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:59:25 +0000 MrsKoala 2293321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Your supply will come back once you are feeling better. Do you have a freezer stash that you can use for now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-bug-and-supply-tanking#post-2293281 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:46:28 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 2293281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter was in daycare so she only took bottles at that point, and I had a freezer stash. Does your lo seem super hungry? If so I wouldn't have had a problem offering some formula, but if everything seems okay, you'll probably be back to better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-bug-and-supply-tanking#post-2293272 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:42:49 +0000 Adira 2293272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I didn't supplement. Mostly I got sick after my kid was in daycare and he was there full-time, so I just pumped extra to ensure I had enough for his bottles every day. Pumping extra definitely helped keep my supply up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-bug-and-supply-tanking#post-2293213 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 08:17:01 +0000 MrsBrewer 2293213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kelley_lovelikecrazy: @Adira: while you were sick did you supplement at all? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-bug-and-supply-tanking#post-2293120 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 06:58:28 +0000 Adira 2293120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply always takes a dip when I'm sick. The only thing that works for me is just pumping/nursing extra and drinking as much fluids as possible. Once you're over the illness, keep up with the extra pumping/nursing sessions until your supply has recovered. Feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-bug-and-supply-tanking#post-2293119 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 06:56:46 +0000 Kelley_lovelikecrazy 2293119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That happened to me. Niorovirus when LO was 4 months. It was 3-4 days and then I felt better. Supply cut in half. Once I was feeling better and eating again, it went right back to normal. Keep drinking water. My Dr told me to eat clear broth and jello until I felt better (since nothing else stayed down) but hopefully it'll come back fine. Miserable experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-bug-and-supply-tanking#post-2293117 Thu, 17 Sep 2015 06:53:33 +0000 MrsBrewer 2293117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been battling a stomach bug for 3 days now, and my supply of tanking. LO is waking up 3 times a night to eat when before it was only once. When I pump I only get 1.5-2 oz when I would normally get 3-4 at least. I'm drinking tons of fluids, and trying to eat, but it just goes right through me. Ugh. </p> <p>Any suggestions?? I'm open to formula, but I want to breastfeed and I don't want this to be the end of it </p>
