Many things: Stress, dehydration, not enough calories, not enough rest and medications like antihistamines and others can decrease your milk supply. Control the above things as best you can. Pump after nursing to attempt to increase your supply. Take oral over the counter supplements such as fenugreek and/or brewer's yeast. Consult your physician or a lactation consultant if not better soon.
