YEP! Always always!!! Usually about a week after I'm feeling better, I'll notice my supply is back up to normal! And while I'm sick, I just pump pump pump extra to get the amounts I need! Hope you feel better soon and your supply improves!

@butterbean: Yep, it's totally normal!! Though it sucks, especially if you were JUST barely meeting your quota beforehand! While you're sick, try to drink more liquids and pump extra so your body knows not to start slacking! And once you're better, it should go back up to normal!

Huh. As if being sick and still having to get up with a baby at night and everything else isn't bad enough. Awesome.

Yes, my supply always dips when I'm sick....like right now! It always rebounds back to normal!
