BF with stomach bug

[FourEyesGood]

For the past couple of days I've had an unpleasant stomach bug (with fairly severe diarrhoea). I'm not eating very much but am sipping water regularly. My DD (3 months) is still feeding enthusiastically, but I'm worried that my milk will be affected by my lack of food. Any reassurance or tips?

Hi

I had a stomach bug gastrenteritis and was advised to BF, the lack of food meant I was exhausted but it will be ok, if its for a few days.

It won't affect your milk. Keep drinking water and look after yourself as you'll be feeling delicate.

You'd have to be seriously starved for a prolonged period for it to affect your milk.
