Milk supply suddenly reduced

I was an oversupply mum. Had fever since last 3 days.. and ever since then.. my milk supply has reduced by more than half. Is it common mummies? Also will I get my supply back after recovering? How to get back my supply? #breastmilk #breastmilkBaby #BreastmilkBestMilk

my supply dipped too when I fell sick. I managed to get it back up in 1 week by taking tonic soup everyday and doing power pump twice a day and making the pump session longer. jiayou mummy and take care! btw I found green bean soup very effective for increasing milk. you can try it too!

thank you mummy:) I pumped regularly despite low supply.. regained back my supply when I recovered :)

Hi mama, it’s normal for your supply to dip when you’re ill. Just pump and feed as per normal (do not skip pumps just because the amount dropped ya) and most importantly drink more water. Your supply will go back up after you recover.

thank u❤️❤️❤️

Sounds like you might have had a slight infection leaving you with a possible blocked milk duct. A lot of painful massage could help.

thank you mummy.. yup I had fever and infection which blocked my ducts.. I got my supply back now :))

My supply dipped when I fell sick too. I had to increase pumping frequency to get it back to pre-sickness levels.

You could explore one of those lactation consultants too. Helped with my wife.
