In my personal experience, the decline in milk supply is not due to
less frequent breastfeeding during illness. I have seen it happen twice
in a mother with stomach flew (fever and dehydration) and during
mastitis with high fever. But this still doesn't tell us if it is the
fever or the dehydration causing the drop in milk supply.
