Questions about supply.

In the last couple weeks ds, 26 mos, has been telling me 'no meeeelk coming'. Now I know that he's getting milk at the beginning 'cause I can hear him swallowing alot and I do feel letdown slightly. I tell him to keep drinking and that will bring some more milk. Sometimes it does but often I see that indeed no meeelk is coming. Is it because he's downing the milk so fast that it's gone quickly? I should add that he's getting some 2 year molars so has been nursing tons lately. Last night he was up at least 6 times to nurse. So I'm thinking maybe the supply just isn't matching the new demand, tho I'm not sure if this is how it works. I'm trying to think of anything that might be adversely affecting my supply. Perhaps I need to drink more fluids, I've been pretty lax about that lately. Anyone have any ideas or advice?
