See your doctor: Have you changed medications? Started on oral contraceptives, begun extreme exercising, begun being dehydrated? You need to push fluids, stop any estrogen containing contraception (there are other options) and you could consider an herbal supplement called fenugreek or if your doctor agrees you could use Reglan (metoclopramide) to increase your milk supply. If your son is old enough to eat, start baby foods.
