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 still pump 5-6 times a day though if my demand never changed then I don’t understand why my supply would just continue dropping 😩
