In my case there was a drop in milk supply right when my daughter
started eating as well.  I think because she was getting her
nutrition elsewhere she needed less milk.  To combat that problem,
I tried to pump right after I fed her at home (not in the middle
of the night).  There was always a little bit left.  I also nursed
her before giving solids at home so that she would still gets all
of the breastmilk to fill her up.  Then I'd offer solids as
"dessert"..

Hope that helps.
