Hi,
It happens decreasing milk secretion during illness due to having lose of appetite and taking less diet.
Now give her high nourishing diet like milk,panier, cheese, ghee, butter, pudding,fresh fruits and juices.
give her some B.complex and multivitamin tablets.
Give her plenty of water.
Ok and take care.
