Could it be due to you are sick and milk supply decreased? I took antibiotics due to mastitis and milk supply dropped. It is not due to the use of antibiotics itself but mastitis (blockage of ducts and infection). Here is a list of drugs that will influence breastmilk supply http://www.northeastern.edu/pharmcarebftutorial/expanding-the-pharmacists-role-in-breastfeeding-continuing-pharmacy-education-cpe-online-tutorial/module-3-breastfeeding-and-medications/medications-that-influence-milk-supply/ Other than medication, these 11 things can reduce our breastmilk supply too: https://www.verywell.com/things-decrease-breast-milk-supply-431815
