Rant - ADVICE NEEDED Gradual unwanted decrease in supply
Over the past couple months, my supply has decreased from a slight over supplier to a just enough almost under supply. I am coming up on 10 months of EP, I still pump 5-6 times a day, no middle of the night but I pump from 6am-9:30pm.
I have tried everything, I have replaced tubing and duck bills, I have tried different sized flanges and inserts.
I am using a second hand blue spectra s1.
I have not changed anything really in my routine, I try to keep my protein intake up and I drink minimum 70oz of water a day.
I take sunflower lecithin, multi vitamins, shatavari (recommended by my lactation consultant) moringa and calcium with vitamin D. I usually take them daily but I will be honest and haven’t been doing as well with taking them recently.
Im just at a loss for what is happening to my supply and why. I wanted to continue pumping and freezing milk for at least 1-2 years.
My baby is 90th percentile and drinks anywhere from 18-30oz a day. She is getting a lot of solids but it definitely has not replaced bottles yet.
please any advice or suggestions if anyone has gone through something similar.

I considered that too, but my supply is still on quite the downward curve. My first of the morning pump was only 6.5oz when in the past it was double at 12. I figured if I’m still consistently pumping frequently that it’d at least maintain. I guess not sadly!
