Aw that sucks! I'm sure having mastitis would have been awful enough, now a low in supply boob!
I was dealing with that a few months ago now I think it's been already and tried everything (well, almost). It was because my baby bit my left nipple in his sleep and I had to stop feeding on it for over a week so the supply drop was huge in that breast and even all round. Unfortunately the cookies didn't work for me, but I have heard some good reports though! Just use like double or more brewers yeast. What I found worked wonders for my supply was fenugreek tablets, I noticed the difference after 24 hours and they actually started filling right back up! I still use it now sometimes as for some reason my supply can be still on the low side sometimes, and causes bub to fuss occasionally and wake up more (prob cos not getting as hydrated), but when I take the tablets for a few days it boost back up.
Hope you're feeling better after mastitis & hopefully you can figure out this supply problem and what works for you. You could do a google search too (I think Kellymom site has a good webpage on boosting supply too). You shouldn't have to stop breastfeeding because of it, there are ways to fix it!!
