Today we have a very special guest, someone I’m sure you would recognize from the @pumpables Instagram page - Courtney Olsen. She is a speech-language pathologist and the sole IBCLC behind @lactationchat. She chats with us about illness and getting your milk supply back.
Courtney answers common questions we all have like is it okay to continue to breastfeed if we are sick and what medications are safe to take while breastfeeding? She also shares some really great resources you can check out if you do have questions on the safety of certain medications.
If you do experience a dip in your supply during an illness Courtney educates us on what this is usually a result from and steps you can take to get your supply back. This is an episode that you’ll be able to go back to again and again if you ever get sick while breastfeeding or pumping!
