I have been pumping now for about 9 months or so and have established a pretty good supply. I have had the flu for the past 5 days with a fever, but no vomiting or diarrhea. I noticed today especially that my supply has decreased a little bit. Is this typical? Will my supply increase again once I'm better? I have been very diligent about pumping through this flu. Thanks for you help! Love, svl Copy Link to Clipboard

Make sure you are getting plenty of fluids you could be slightly dehydrated. Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)
