Reduction?

My daughter will be 9 weeks on Tuesday and I have been pumping and nursing since Day1. On average I have been pumping 30 oz a day but today I have only been able to pump 15. What could cause a reduction like this? Should I be worried? I will pump 2 more times in this 24 hr period. Earlier this week I had one day where it was around 20 oz as well but then the next day it was back to normal. Any insight is appreciated. Thank you!

    Change in diet? Stress? Is she eating all you pump in addition to nursing? Pumping 30 oz AND nursing is a whole lot of milk! If that's what's been happening, your body may just adjusting to be closer to what baby actually needs in a given day.

    Idk why I was pumping so much. She nurses on avg two times a day in between feedings and drinks from a bottle on avg 25 oz a day. I try and pump every three hours and freeze left over milk. She has had no issues with spitup or reflux. My question is is this normal? I am now struggling to get 3-4 oz each time I pump and if it's normal great. I just don't want it to stop all of a sudden.
