I posted this on the BFing board, but thought I'd try here too: https://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/14948660.aspx

    Hey there!  I haven't personally been where you are, but just wanted you to know that I read the post and wish I could help:(  I have had many times where my supply has dipped A LOT and it always comes back.  Maybe just try to pump a little more often for a while to make it seem like your demand is higher?  Good luck and I hope it works out for you...

    I wish I had some advice for you Christine, but I think others have said everything I would have. ?I hope your supply increases soon. ?Have you thought about bringing Evie's solids meals up to 3 a day? My pedi told me to do that at 6 months. ?We don't always get 3 in, but I try.

    A?

    i posted yesterday about my supply drop.  i am finishing my first AF already and hadley is only 11 weeks.  my LC wants me pumping more often after she eats and also wants me to try domperidone, which i ordered yesterday despite my uneasiness about ordering drugs online.  i eat oatmeal every day and have been taking fenugreek for about a week or two.  i am going to start power pumping today per skat and cluessbride's suggestion.  good luck, i know the frustration....

    Do you BF her before you feed the solids?  My pedi rec'd this.  The other girls gave good advice.  Obviously supply and demand, so nurse as often as possible.  I know DD likes to cluster feed at night, so you might try letting her do that?  Carrying her in a sling so she can nip here and there?  I hope it gets better soon.

    I haven't made it to 8 months yet, but I do know the frustration of having supply ebb and flow. It really seems to change day  to day and week to week, so the best advice I can give is just to nurse or pump a bit longer and let your body know that you still need more. It can take a few days to respond...I know how it feels!

    Hang in there hon. You made it EIGHT months..good for you!
