I am on day four of norovirus, or at least that's what I think I have!!
I started with sickness, then upset tummy, fever, sweats. I haven't been sick for two days but the impact it has had on breastfeeding is worrying me.
Baby is EBF and 15 weeks.
Initially I felt like I had lost my milk. Breasts lost fullness, no let down was felt and my 15 week old baby cried when I tried to feed him. Despite feeling shocking I carried on and kept offering the breast. Now on day 4 I am beginning to feel a weak let down but it happens after at least 3-4 mins in rather than in the first 30 secs like usual. Baby is producing set nappies but not as many as usual. I tried offering formula, he hates the bottle and took 15 ml!!
Am ironing the right thing? Will it return to normal? Help.....
