I may try oatmeal at lunch! Food poisoning is never fun but trying to juggle a baby and a 3 year old (even with a lot of help) on top of it...whew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-maintaining-supply-when-sick#post-2342809 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 10:10:22 +0000 jape14 2342809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can usually keep Gatorade down better than water - the lemon-lime flavor is usually the least offensive to me. I hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-maintaining-supply-when-sick#post-2342672 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 08:25:37 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2342672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oatmeal bananas and as much water as you can. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-maintaining-supply-when-sick#post-2342667 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 08:22:25 +0000 MrsSRS 2342667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always have better luck keeping gatorade down than water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-maintaining-supply-when-sick#post-2342657 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 08:06:56 +0000 Adira 2342657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I'm sorry. Being sick sucks. Try a BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, toast) and drink lots of water. I also had to increase the number of times I pumped to keep my supply up while sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-maintaining-supply-when-sick#post-2342543 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 23:24:58 +0000 Corduroy 2342543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs, I'm sorry that is so draining. I hope you feel better soon. I'd try rice or toast when you're feeling up for it. Rest as much as possible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tips-for-maintaining-supply-when-sick#post-2342485 Mon, 02 Nov 2015 21:37:33 +0000 abmamma 2342485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all- I got slammed with a navy bout of food poisoning today and am really struggling with anything other than laying down somewhere. Fortunately I had help with my 2 month old and since I EP, plenty of milk in the fridge/freezer for him to drink while I'm down for the count. I've been trying to keep up my pumping schedule but it's been hard. I'm really worried about a dip given I can't keep much down (water even). Hoping that improves- suggestions for what I can eat/drink that will help hydrate/get more calories in me but easy on the stomach? </p>
