Trying to make it to a year- low supply issue

JessieJH

I've been pretty successfully BF'ing and pumping for almost 9 months now, but in the last month I've seen a huge dip in pumping output. I know this is somewhat normal, but in order for BM to continue to be on the menu untili 12 months (at least) I need to figure something out. I was steadily producing about 15 oz a day, but in the last few weeks I get about 8 oz (sometimes 10 and sometimes less). So, I've been supplementing from my freezer stash, but it won't last long at this rate. My LO drinks 15 oz a day at daycare.

What works to increase supply? I'm thinking of the following:

1. Nursing vacation (frequent nursing and pumping after each session on the weekends)

2. Getting my pump looked at to make sure it's working well

3. Renting a hospital pump (I have a Pump In Style). Are hospital ones really much better?

 Is there something else I should consider? I already added an extra pump session in the evening after LO goes to bed. That's helped a bit, but not much.
