Please help if you can…..what could cause my milk supply to all but disappear in just 2 days

  • Posted on December 5, 2010 at 11:24 am

I am breastfeeding a 6.5 mth old baby girl and had some supply probs around 3 mths. All sorted and has been fine for the last 3 mths.

2 days ago I didn’t have enough milk to feed her one feed, now I don’t have any for any feeds. Even the night feeds when I normally have an abundance….I have none.

I know my boobs and my daughter and I know I’m empty. I’m not ill, I’ve been eating and drinking normally, I’m tired but that’s normal.

What could cause me to ‘dry up’ in 2 days flat?

Please help if you can, I don’t want to give her formula but will have to soon if this keeps up as she’s not getting anything and is very hungry now.
She’s allergic to something in all the commercial formulas (we’ve not found out what yet) so she would have to have prescription formula from the drs. Isomil it’s called….anyone tried it?
