I was exclusive pumping for my almost 6 month old. I had a bad case of food poisoning for a week and my supply has dropped from about 850ml per day to 650ml. For medical reasons I am pumping from the right side only, so I need quite a big supply from one side.
I have been better for 5 days and my supply has not recovered, and I have had to give my baby formula top ups, but he doesn't really like formula and rejects it and cries unless he is nearly asleep. I have been taking fenugreek and eating oatmeal and pumping more often than before. I would really like to get my supply back! Has anyone experienced anything similar and do you think my supply might still recover? I have lost a couple of kg - could this be why the supply has dropped? I don't really want to gain it again as it was excess pregnancy weight anyway, but I would if it would make my supply come back!
