What strikes me here is that you used to have an over abundance and now you have not enough. What I imagined happened is that you were getting full which triggered your brain to say you were producing too much, so it slowed down production. What you need to do to increase your supply is feed the baby from both sides and get as empty as possible. This will trigger your brain to say that you need more and thus it will produce more. This can be REALLY hard if you are working, but if you are able to be with your baby, just nurse as often as you can. If the baby doesn't want to nurse or is full before you are empty, you can use a pump (had or electric) to get the rest out.
My doctor put me on fenugreek which is just an herbal supplement you can get at any health food store, but as always check with your doctor to see what they recommend!
