Winter vomiting bug, not nice! I havnt eaten for nearly 2 days. I ebf my 4month lo.
I'm hydrated, just.
I noticed the last 2 mornings my boobs weren't as engorged as they normally are + now worry about supply.
Dd seems fine with feeding. I sleep + husband wakes me to feed.
I'm drinking more today but still not eaten but have stopped hurling!

Anyone know how it effects milk supply?
Thanks.

Sometimes, supply seems to be affected in a small way when a mother herself is poorly - diet should have no effect at all, unless you are literally starving to begin with. Any slight fall in supply is temporary and usually unnoticed by the baby who simply feeds more/longer :)

At 4 mths, supply is pretty robust anyway.
Not something to worry about - hope you feel better soon.
