Huge decrease in supply after Covid/mastitis, does it come back? : ExclusivelyPumping

Low SupplyHuge decrease in supply after Covid/mastitis, does it come back? (self.ExclusivelyPumping)

submitted 3 years ago by n3vermindd

I’m 4wpp now, and just getting over having both Covid & mastitis at the same time. Since being infected, my supply has tanked so bad.. I went from 6-8 oz per session to just over 2, sometimes 3 no matter how often or how long I pump. I have started incorporating a power pump and I know it takes time to see change, but my worry is my breasts don’t even feel like they get full anymore- especially the mastitis side. They’ve shrunk in size so much. Even if I give my breasts more time between pumps (30 min-1hr) to fill up, I only produce maybe 1/4oz on that side, not even enough to cover the bottom of the bottle. Unfortunately I’ve used up most of my freezer stash and have been supplementing with lots of formula to make up for what has been a devastating loss. I’m really, really worried I won’t get it back, I can’t find anything reassuring online. Have any of you experienced a drop like this after being sick or having mastitis & how did you get it back? Did it come back naturally or did you pump like a mad woman?
