wondering about supply 9 months in?

[juliav]

DD is 9 months old. She's always been an excellent nurser. But she also LOVES food. And although I anticipated a drop in supply once she started taking solids I feel that the drop has been more severe than I had expected. My beasts just feel less full and I'm not able to pump as much now as I once could, my letdown is less strong too.

I'm concerned because I work from home most of the time, but starting next week I'll be doing 1 day a week actually *at* work which means dd will be with her papa and I'll have to leave milk for nap time routine.

Any suggestions? Should I try to pump more to get the supply going again? I read in another thread that it may be my pump's membranes that need changing?

Thanks in advance!

You could try taking Fenugreek or More Milk Plus to help increase your supply. Pumping more often may help too. I hope everything works out.
