Default why is there a drop?
Today there has been a big drop in my supply....all I can think of, is that I have a little cold, or maybe an allergy flair up, i'm not sure(the SLIGHTEST bit congested, and my throat is scratchy) but my supply is like nothing. Any ideas??

Are you taking any antihistamines? That can dry you up some. Is AF coming?

Things that can adversely affect your milk supply:

Illness
lack of sleep
Not enough liquids
Not enough calories
decongestants
various medications
Some spices/seasonings are believed to adversely affect it.

Quote:
Here are some things to avoid as they tend to suppress milk production:

Sage Thyme Mint (note: some "cinnamon" candies are actually made with mint oils) Decongestants Oregano cabbage leaves in the bra (but you can eat cabbage) Birth Control pills

Everything but birth control pills hurt milk production because they are drying. With birth control pills, it's the hormones. Combination pills almost always affect supply although the older the baby gets, the less chance of them doing that. Some women find they can take them okay once their baby is past a year old.

The mini-pill (and related bc like Depo-Provera) is generally considered okay though there is anecdotal evidence that for *some* women they impact supply. Also, they should *never* be taken before 6 weeks postpartum as it's the withdrawal of progesterone following the pg that signals the body to make milk. If you take the progesterone pill or shot during that time, your body gets an opposite signal.

Also, while sage, thyme, mint, etc are drying, usually in the quantities that most moms consume them in, they make no noticeable difference. So having a mint candy once in a while (which is mostly sugar and hardly any mint) is probably okay but if you've been guzzling mint tea or something, you might want to stop. Sometimes a typical Thanksgiving meal has enough combination of all these spices that some moms do notice a supply drop the next day.
