MANILA, Philippines — Actress Megan Young revealed that she is now recovering from dengue, which affected her ability to produce milk for her son Leon.
In her Instagram broadcast channel, Megan said that she only found that she had dengue when she was already recovering.
“I got sick. Little did I know, I had dengue!! Only found out when I was recovering na (I had itchy patches all over my body). All is good now, but getting sick affected my milk supply so much,” she said.
“I had such a struggle with my milk that during the holidays, when I got sick again, I decided to start weaning. It’s been sooooo hard weaning, but after slowly doing so for 1.5 months, I’m starting to feel more like myself, less stressed, less snacking (nakakagutom mag-pump!!), and less pressured,” she added.
Megan also reminded mothers to breastfeed their babies.
“Always remember that fed is best. We mommas know what is best for ourselves and our bebes,” she said.
Megan and husband Mikael Daez tied the knot in 2022. They welcome their first child Leon in May 2025.
