I have been drinking a ton and now that I've got an appetite again, I think getting some food in me will help. Maybe I'll even be able to stomach the More Milk Plus. Guess I shouldn't give up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-virus-has-killed-my-supply-what-to-do#post-1313722 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 13:28:25 +0000 daniellemybelle 1313722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry you both have been sick! My LC says power pumping is really good for this situation. Pump til empty, 10 minute break, pump 10 minutes, 10 minute break, and so on for one hour. Also, I have low supply &amp; lactation cookies really worked for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-virus-has-killed-my-supply-what-to-do#post-1313667 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 13:14:53 +0000 rawrasaur 1313667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My supply dipped a lot when I've been sick, but it's always come back up once I've recovered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-virus-has-killed-my-supply-what-to-do#post-1313662 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 13:13:23 +0000 rachiecakes 1313662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hydrate! tons and tons of Gatorade and water</p> <p>Hope everyone's feeling better </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-virus-has-killed-my-supply-what-to-do#post-1313644 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 13:08:57 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1313644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The best thing you can try to do is drink LOTS of water, nurse/pump a ton, and maybe try some supplements. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-virus-has-killed-my-supply-what-to-do#post-1313632 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 13:04:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1313632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:-( Sounds like you guys have been hit hard. I had the same thing happen around 3 months old. The only thing that helped was to nurse/pump around the clock and drink TONS of water and/or Gatorade to replenish your fluids. Adding More Milk Plus might help as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stomach-virus-has-killed-my-supply-what-to-do#post-1313607 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 12:55:50 +0000 SLR 1313607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The title pretty much sums it up, but here is the back story. </p> <p>My LO (13 months) got a stomach bug on Saturday night and still hasn’t fully gotten back to her norm. The vomiting only lasted a day, but she is still dealing with a weak stomach and diarrhea. We had been in the process of transitioning her to cow’s milk (which wasn’t going too well) so she was nursing at home and taking bottles with 50% BM and 50% WCM while at daycare. When she got sick, the pediatrician recommended stopping the WCM for a week or until she was doing better with the food &amp; diarrhea. (On top of this, we had to stop mid-course of antibiotics for an ear infection that I know think has come back. :sad: )</p> <p>This was all fine and good until I came down with the stomach virus on Mon/Tues. It really has all but annihilated my supply! I’m pumping/nursing as often as I can, but am getting only an ounce or so each time….nowhere near where I was before or what she will need if she’s now back to taking 100% BM for a few more days. </p> <p>I probably have enough frozen to last me only one more day. I was ready to wean during the day and go to morning/nighttime sessions for as long as I could maintain a supply. But, I really didn’t want to go out this way!</p> <p>Has anyone been through this at this stage in the game and still recovered their supply? </p>
