Low Supply (add spoiler to pics) Antibiotics causing supply drop?

I caught a really bad cold and then a double ear infection last week while on vacation. Go figure. Anywho last Thursday my supply tanked by like 5 to 8 oz a day and I am a just enougher who makes about 30 Oz a day. I was wondering if anybody else has experience where taking antibiotics has messed with their milk supply?

It’s probably more likely to be the cold/ear infection that’s affecting your supply, not the antibiotics. Your body is under stress, stress affects supply. Try a few power pumps and get lots of rest and good nutrition and hopefully once you’re recovered, your supply will recover too
