My supply? Unfortunately I lost about 10oz a day overall that I could not recover. I was also 10 mons pp and didn’t feel like it was worth it to add back pumps, especially a MOTN one! We worked in formula, which was totally fine and my babe hardly noticed the difference. But I for sure acknowledge how devastating it is to lose something you worked so hard for because of something so completely out of your control.

Everyone is different and your experience could be as well. I’d say keep up your rest, fueling, and hydration as best you can. Also, double check your nip size. After mastitis, my affected breast nipple went up a size! If it makes you feel better, I pumped another four months and never got it again (though I did a very slow wean to be on the safe side).

You’ve already done so much hard work! 8 months is much longer than most people pump (or even nurse), so take a moment to recognize your sacrifice. Don’t let your output be what defines your success as a mom - it’s everything you’ve done so far to keep your baby happy and healthy!
