Take care of yourself but don't lower your pumping sessions

Breastfeeding & Pumping

One very important tip I would love to share is that no matter how sick/horrible you feel don’t stop pumping. Even if it’s just for 5 minutes continue to be on your pumping. Since you are sick your body can naturally decrease your supply and by literally not pumping or waiting such a long time it can decrease even more. It’s very important to take care of yourself, please make sure you do and if your supply doesn’t take a toll just add a couple sessions. It should be back to normal once you’re fully recovered.

This is from when I first began to feel sick and when not pumping as usual started to take a toll on my supply.

Appreciate this tip! Short sessions during sick days really are a lifesaver for protecting supply while getting needed rest. :growing_heart:

This is so true! I remember freaking out the first time I got sick because my milk supply dipped
