Hi All
My baby is 3 weeks old and has a cold. He's been feeding really well since birth and I have a good supply. But for the last couple of days he has had a cold and has been feeding a lot less frequently and sleeping more.
I had to get up in the night to express as it was so uncomfortable.
I wondered whether his reduced feeding for a few days will affect my supply?
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks

Shouldn't think so if you keep expressing. Freeze any excess for later.

Just be careful with him feeding less.In such a young baby it can be a sign on The RSV virus which can make them too tired to feed.
Hope he is better soon.
