What other symptoms of decreasing milk supply does she have? Is it really hunger that makes the baby want to nurse more or could it be something else? How is weight evolution? Output? Development?

I have a friend who is studying to be an LC and has a four month old.  This is 
her fifth child, and she has always had a struggle with her milk supply, but 
usually does well enough not to have to supplement.  Now she feels she is 
losing her milk.  She is taking mother's milk plus, and suddenly the baby is 
hungry and eating more often.  Thyroid levels have always been found to be 
normal, no pcos, no problem getting or maintaining pregnancy.  Does super-
switch feeding with breast compression, does not, never has, pump well.  
nurses on demand.  Any other suggestions?  Thanks for any help!
