Milk supply after mastitis

Hi everyone, I had a trrrible Case of mastitis the last 7 days that nearly sent me to hospital BUT thankfully things turned around at last minute and I am now feeling so much better. My little one is 5.5 old and had been EBF and refused all attempts of bottles but I think out of sheer frustration and hunger because breast with better supply was blocked she has taken one bottle every evening for last 5 days. My question is I feel like my supply has gone way down in my affected boob, does this happen? Can I increase it again as baby is almost 6 months?i had wanted to try feeding her myself until a year as she is my last baby 😕

Just keep feeding as much as baby wants and your supply should increase - cut the bottle though (unless you're happy with it) as your body will think baby needs less.
