    Default Mom and baby sick

    Well my kids have this nasty stomach virus that's been lingering since thanksgiving. I've cought it now too. My nursling is 16m. Not eating too much but nursing plenty. Now that i'm sick, I'm not really eating too much, have diarrhea, and I think I'm a little dehydrated although I'm trying to push fluids. On top of that I have my period...What else, if anything,should I do to make sure I don't have a decrease in supply?

    Just nurse on demand, and try to stay hydrated, and everything will be fine.

    Sorry you're sick, mama!
