I am 17mths post-partum and have been fully bfing my daughter. My menses came back when I was 9mths pp. Since last Monday, I noticed my milk supply has dropped from usual 360ml to only 290ml (when I pump at work). I am not an oversupply mom to start with. Any idea why the drastic drop in supply? Is it possible to build back my supply or can I re-establish my supply? Thanks!

Drop in prolactin levels is quite likely to be the explanation here. At 17mo, you should focus on encouraging your bub on solids and take the stress away from your pump output.
