Got a rotten cold earlier this week and as the midwife was coming that day (baby is 3 weeks) I decided to just take some paracetamol and ask her what I could have. She said lemsip was fine so I was drinking them for the rest of Tuesday and all day Wednesday. Then out of interest j googled it and read it can interfere with milk supply so since yesterday have switched to heads honey and lemon and paracetamol. However I have noticed a dramatic difference in my boobies. Baby isn't feeding for as long (and more often) he's more unsettled And my boobs don't feel as full as they have been. I have some frozen breast milk but I don't want him to suck less and I'm guessing this won't help matters. Will my supply pick back up of you think? And how long should this take? Have been feeding on demand and offering lots of breast milk and also carrying him in a sling and lots of
Cuddles. Any more ideas? Shall I try a bit of pumping maybe during his next sleep? X
