Ooh from memory aren't oats meant to help too?  Eating well, drinking plenty of fluids would also be a good idea IMO.  Rest a bit.

Yes, oats are supposed to boost supply too.

I went through this last AF, since then I have been eating oats for breakfast every day, taking 2 3x day fenugreek and have just started the calcium. Think I'm doing all I can. 
Luckily we are on solids this time because last time my supply was down 1.5 weeks and DD was not a happy baby, maybe I can tide her over with 'real food'.

We are slowly expanding our menu by 2 new things a week and I'm trying to sneak oats and turkey into every meal along with olive oil into the veg.
I think I'll wait another month with dairy and gluten to be on the safe side.

If it lasted 1.5 weeks, it might have felt that supply was low but it might actually have just coincided with a growth spurt.  My medical herbalist SIL also suggested a good multivitamin suitable for nursing mothers to make sure you're getting enough and not run down.
