My supply didn't change while I was sick. I just stuck with the routine and reminded myself that I was giving her lots of good antibodies in my milk.

LO and I both had a cold a few weeks ago, but my supply stayed strong. I agree with Mrs. Wagon - be careful about taking decongestants. I was able to take low doses of them but I definitely spaced them out more than I would have otherwise.

@mediagirl: it is absolutely the WORST being a sick momma... no time or energy at all to devote to what you SHOULD be doing, which is resting up to get better. When I was a SAHM, a cold that would normally last me a few days would stretch on for WEEKS. If you are able to take some time off from work (aside from the time you had to take for M, ) I would highly recommend sending M to daycare for a day so you can sleep at least one long stretch. Or have someone take night feedings. One day or night of good sleep can make a world of difference!
