Stomach bug & breastfeeding

[shouldistop]

I have a nasty stomach bug, trying to drink plenty of water and had some toast yesterday but I weighed myself this morning and have lost 5lbs so I think I must be quite dehydrated.

Baby is 9 months old, do you think my supply will be ok?

I think you will be fine. And at 9months if it’s temporarily lowered your baby will make up for it with water and food. The 5lbs won’t all be water. Remember it will also likely include the entire contents of your stomach and intestines…

Hopefully it's over soon I'll keep sipping water and maybe try some dry biscuits later.

You're certainly not wrong there!
