Cordelia, my understanding is that many babies tend to cluster feed (frequent feedings) in the evening - thus they are feeding from an "emptier" breast. The more "empty" the breast and the closer the feedings are, the higher the fat content. Leon Mitoulas and others have done a nice study of this. So I don't think it's a case of reduced milk supply at all - but rather a perception of this based on the baby's unsettled behaviour.
