My husband and myself have been laid out all weekend with a particularly nasty dose of gastroenteritis.
I am now worried that my milk supply has been damaged and that I won't be able to carry on breastfeeding my DD who is 5 months. Am I being irrational? My boobs are much smaller and have for the first time since DD was born returned to their pre-breastfeeding size and texture, IYKWIM. Would 48 hours of fasting and not keeping much in the way of fluid down ruin my milk supply?
Today I managed to eat a sandwich and half a small lasagne but apart from that I've not eaten anything since Friday night. I've kept my fluid intake up as much as I can and drunk Dioralyte.
