I have exclusively breastfed my DD who is now 4mo.
As I'm sure many of you are aware there is a very nasty vomiting bug (Norovirus I believe) going around. Most of my family and friends have/have had it this week and it appears DD might be starting with it too.
She has been projectile vomiting for about 2 hours, but screams hungry in between and the only thing that settles her is feeding. Problem is I have now used up my entire expressed milk supply and boobs are empty. She is livid.
What can I do? Should I go buy some formula? She's puking it up anyway, would it matter?
Could I go back to BFing in a week when she is better or would my milk supply disappear? Not really sure what to do.
Please someone come and convince me I'm not starving my baby!
