Back to work, pumping, supply diminishing - HELP!

This is for my sister -  She has been EBFing for 4 months. She would pump occassionally, but not much before returning to work. She has been back to work for 1 month and her supply is diminishing. She pumps every 2-2.5 hours while at work. When not at work she nurses. She has tried drinking more water, eating more, eating oatmeal, using larger cover on the pump, etc. What else would you recommend??

    She could try pumping an extra five minutes each breast after nursing... There's also fenugreek supplements or Mother's Milk tea...GL!

    Someone posted an article about this not too long ago. It is totally normal for this to happen and for some people there really isn't much you can do. I'd suggest the More Milk Plus or Fenugreek as well. If these don't work, she may just have to try to pump more after the baby goes to bed. I'm having the same issues and mine has gotten better now that I've been pumping for 3 months.
