This sounds like more of a baby problem than a maternal problem. If mom
is able to pump significantly more milk than the baby just took, that
means that the sucking is very ineffective.
Probably the milk supply declined as the baby entered energy
conservation mode from underfeeding. This tends to spiral downward - too
few calories = sleepy baby = poorer energy for feeding = fewer calories
= more energy conservation and less active suck = fewer calories, etc.
Lots of pumping should increase it, and I'd definately try supplementing
at breast.
