Hi I have a 12wo DS who had taken to bfing really well despite having slight TT. I have come down with a horrid virus and haven't even been keeping fluids down today. DS has fed as normal today but took longer to settle tonight and is now awake feeding where normally he'd sleep through from 9pm to 7am.
I am worried that my milk supply is dwindling as obv I'm quite dehydrated. I've just had a cup of lucozade which tasted amazing so think my body is desperately trying to rehydrate ,e and ge blood sugar up a bit but I won't e surprised if it doesn't stay down. What can I do? Will drinking help with milk even if t appears to come back up? Do I need to gave formula n standby or do I just feed more frequently? And also will this affect my supply after I've recovered?
Oh and if DS gets it cani still feed him?
Thanks
