lower milk supply after being sick

I EP milk for my 2 month old. I usually have a good supply, about 28 oz a day. Early in the week I had a stomach bug and now I've been pumping about 23 oz. I haven't been eating as much bc I still feel off. Will it come back on its own or should I do something to help it return? Thank you.

Re: lower milk supply after being sick

if you EP I would def add an extra session or two a day! Maybe a little longer if possible as well!

Def up your water intake (A LOT), oatmeal..and Try Fenugreek (3-4 pills, 3-4 times a day) This helped me when AF returned and my supply became less!

Good luck!
