Breastfeeding

For those who have had mastitis...a question

I was diagnosed with mastitis last week (Thursday) and started antibiotics. By Friday night, the HUGE lump in my breast had been removed and LO seemed to be getting milk just fine. Then yesterday evening he started being really fussy at the breast again, pulling away, but then wanting to latch right back on. I've tried cradle hold and football hold on that side and he gets milk out in both positions. He normally eats every 4 hours and eats from both breasts. He had to have a bottle at his 8 am feeding and a little bit of a bottle at his noon feeding because I am at church during those feeding times. Anyway, I'm wondering if he is not liking the taste of my milk because of the antibiotics or if my supply is decreasing because of them? I have to take them until next Monday. Also, my pumping output has been significantly lower than usual. Has anyone had experience with antibiotics affecting your supply after mastitis? Thanks in advance for any help.
