Supply has Tanked

Ugh...I didn't have this problem with our first child and nursed until he was 1. Our daughter is 8.5 months and the week my supply has completely tanked! We do blw, but nothing has changed. My right boobs has always been a super producer, but not now! Help! I'm burning through my stash since I'm not pumping enough for the next day. Any advice is appreciated!

    Go back to the basics: are you drinking enough water, getting enough rest, eating well, trying to relax as much as possible while pumping? Are all your pump parts in working order? Should you change the membranes or tubing? Is the pump still up to the job? Are you under the weather/have a cold?

    ^^ I second all of that! Great advice; go back to the basics.

    I agree with the previous posts, and I don't want to be a debbie downer, but your period may be coming back if it hasn't already.  Not sure how this all progressed after your first.  This happened to me - no major fluctuations with supply then all of a sudden it tanked.  I tried all the recommended supply-boosting techniques to no avail.  I just wanted to share because we were close to getting ourselves into a 2 under 2 situation because it came much sooner than expected!
