BF: Drink a lot of fluids. It is common for the milk supply to diminish when your body is dehydrated, from a stomach virus. Should restore itself in a few days. Be sure to drink excessively and have the baby nurse often.

Milk supply: No need to worry yet. Make sure you increase your fluid intake. Since having "stomach flu" a few days ago its very likely you got dehydrated. Avoid medications that will decrease your milk supply. Hope this helps
