getting enough supply

about a week ago i was pumping 2-3x a day and getting anywhere from 3-5 oz each time... now i'm barely getting 2 oz.  what gives?  DD is still breastfeeding, and like i said about a week ago i could pump enough to have 4-5 bags extra for DH to do night feedings and one or two feedings during the day...

i'm thinking of calling up a LC in the morning to make sure i'm doing everything the right way - shield size / # of times a day pumping etc.

thoughts??

    I'm having the same problem - and I'm worrying that my supply is dwindling so much that he's not getting enough during feedings - he never seems satisfied, and I'm getting very little when I pump. 

    Are you still pumping every time you use the shield?  I was, but during the last week with the holidays, its been harder, and I'm worried that this could be part of my problem.

    I'm calling lactation tomorrow for some tips.
