Decrease in Morning Pumping Session... WHY?

Usually my Morning Pump session gives me 5 or 6 Oz but this morning after a weekend of LOTS of BFing I got less than 4oz.  I fed LO several times throughout the night because he ISN'T SLEEPING!  So do you think that is why I am getting less than normal?  I am PRAYING I can make up for it later today because he is taking 4-5oz bottles 3x per day :(  Any Tips or Tricks, I have Fenugreek at home so I am probably going to take a few days worth startign tonight... Hope to increase my Pumping supply.  I felt full when I started pumping I don't know what happened?!

    Does he normally go longer at night? Maybe the overnight feedings took from your am supply. LO normally has her last feeding at 7:30ish and when I pump at 4am, I normally get 12 oz, but if we were out and about at night and I give her an extra feeding at 9:30 pm or so, when we get home, my 4 am pump is reduced and yields about 10 oz. Simply because they have spent less time filling since their last emptying.

    My LO has been CRAZY lately and used to sleep about 5-7 Hours at night and for the past 1.5 weeks has been up 3-5 times per NIGHT!  I am so tired.  I think it is a combination of not filling as much because the feeds have increased SOOO much at night, and pure exhaustion.  I need a nap!  I am going to bed as soon as LO is out tonight.  maybe I can at least get 3 straight hours before he wants another feeding.
