Building back supply after mastitis?
Heyo! 3 weeks pp and already had my first battle with mastitis. My milk came in fast and there was way too much to keep up with this early on.
Had to switch to exclusive pumping for many reasons, but I was pumping 5oz per breast before mastitis. Now I get 3-5 oz out of my good boob and only 1oz out of my mastitis boob every 3 hours.
I just finished my antibiotic today. Will my supply in my mastitis boob come back?!

Start power pumping! And drinking body armor/ oats if you’re not already !
Could be the antibiotic
Did your supply ever come back? I still have 3 days on the antibiotic and my milk supply has dropped so much. It’s so hard to keep pumping when it’s so little each time. I just want to figure out a way to still be able to pump for my baby.
@Paige coming back slowly!! I’m getting closer to 3oz from that breast now when I was only getting 1oz during the worst part of it! I actually just got mastitis again in my other breast. 🫠 so I’m still on antibiotics, but it’s coming back with consistent pumping!
@Mary Okay, I like hearing the feed back it helps keep me positive.

Use the pump even when you think it's empty.....pump...continuously it will help
