Breastfeeding

If I stopped breast feeding for 3 days will my milk supply totally stop? What if I ate something spicy or have food poisoning when can I start breastfeeding again?

No, your milk supply will not stop so soon but it will decrease and you might even have engorgement or blocked ducts. Maybe you can still pump or hand express regularly to maintain supply and prevent blocked ducts. You can still breastfeed even if you are something spicy or have food poisoning. It actually won’t affect your baby too much.
