dd is 10mths, I am back at work ft and feed her approx 4-6 times a day, before and after work, bedtime and nighttimes. Been back since August and this arrangement seems to be fine.

Off work today with nasty D&V bug since last night, and dd just hasn't wanted to feed at all, she's latched on but then doesn't seem to get anything so pops off and is just eating solids if hungry

is this just a blip cos I' run down?

It does sound like just a blip. Your supply can go down a bit when ill but not massively. I would just keep offering, maybe she's feeling a bit off herself.
