    Unhappy Overnight dramatic drop in supply ... caused by cold?

    Normally, I bf around 5am then straight after pump (>200ml), then I pump at 11am (approx 400ml), then I pump at 3pm (>200ml), then I bf at 6pm, then I pump and/or feed at 9pm and again at midnight.

    Today I overslept, and so bf at 7am and was drained ... then at 11am I only managed to get 300ml, at 3pm I didn't even get 200ml, and DS is still asleep so I'm pumping, and I haven't even managed 100ml.




    It kind of feels like I'm not getting a proper let down ...


    I still feel full-ish and uncomfortable, hard and itchy nippled and all the rest, from being too full ... but it won't come out!


    The only unusual thing I can think of is that I've got a cold, but I've had it for 2 days and I've been feeding and pumping fine until today!


    What's wrong???

    Help!
