Sudden drop in supply

I stayed home over the holidays (I work full time) and now that I'm back to work I noticed that I'm pumping half what I did before I went on vacation.  and in the evenings when I'm able to nurse DS I never knew how much he ate, so last night I pumped just to see and I only got 3 oz (he eats about 5) I'm thinking that I could take that Fenugeek that I've heard about but am not sure if that will help (or where to buy it from.)  I don't want to give up EBF but I'm concrened taht he isn't getting enough.  I could go on and on about my concerns but I guess I need to try and up my supply. 

Anyone have a dip and then go back up on their own?  Or did you have to do somethign to help your supply?

    did you get engorged at one point? That is something that can kill your supply big time.

    Good luck.  Keep pumping as much as you can every 2-3 hours.

    I too experienced a decrease in my supply when I went back after the holidays.  I use to pupmp about 5-6oz per session now I am lucky if I get 4 oz per session.  I am lucky that I have a freezer stash to dip into, but what can I also do to help boost my supply.
