BF and colds

DD has her first cold now at 4 months. However, I think I got something too. Can your supply be affected if you get sick? I noticed last night when I pumped before bed that I only got 1 oz when I usually get 2 1/2. Then today during work I only pumped 8 oz when I usually pump about 11-12. The only thing that changed is that I woke up with a sore throat this morning and don't feel that well. I'm hoping that's all it is. Dd has been nursing as usual.

I don't bf, but I'm thinking you're probably slightly dehydrated from the cold that's brewing. Try drinking more fluids, it might help

Eta for grammar lol

Yes. If you're sick it will affect your supply.

I agree with PPs. Drink plenty of fluids/broths etc. On the plus side, your LO will get your antibodies for the cold through your BM, so it should help her get better quickly. I also nursed my DD extra when we got sick. She's 2 now and has never needed an antibiotic yet.

Feel better.
