I can only ditto all the excellent advice already given, especially increasing your water intake and nursing before meals.

You're also nursing on demand which is huge. I successfully nurse my babies until they are two and I believe the biggest contributor to my success is nursing on demand, no matter what, no matter where. The second year is laxer since they don't depend on me 100% anymore, but for the first year my babies are with me 24/7 with very few emergency type exceptions. No pumping for a day out shopping sans babe, no pumping so I can drink for whatever occasion, no pumping so someone else can bottle feed overnight or to give me a break or for the babysitter etc... I've known many moms who take advantage of the convenience of pumping and then can't figure out why they are losing their milk. Nursing is a very "use it or lose it" function and the body's reaction to pumping vs nursing a real, live baby is very different. Long term nursing can be done with pumping but it's much more challenging.

I realize you have no choice when it comes to daycare but if you are not making exceptions other than that and you nurse as much as possible and as regularly as possible at all other times, you will be better off and have a higher chance of keeping up.  

If you don't like beer there are lactation cookies that are made with brewer's yeast so you don't have to drink beer. There are many recipes online, if you google you'll find one that looks good to you.  

There's also Mother's Milk tea. http://www.vitacost.com/traditional-medicinals-organic-mothers-milk-herbal-tea

The good news is if your goal is to get to a year, you just have a couple more months to hang in there!

Thank you for the information and encouragement.  Nursing on demand feels so natural to me.  In the beginning everyone told me NOT to get into that habit because it would be much harder (for both of us) when I went back to work.  They were right, it was very hard to adjust, but I don't regret that closeness and developing that bond in those first weeks.

I think she likes to make up for lost time with me because our evenings are pretty much spent in a chair and nursing, which is perfectly fine because it is just the two of us so we have very little housework or any interruptions. The only time it gets difficult is when we go work on our garden because she doesn't like to stay under the nursing cover anymore.  

Out and about I don't feel comfortable nursing uncovered.

That's good.

My mom gives me a hard time about nursing. She's not rude but she disapproves of nursing past one and makes a comment here or there. It's strange though because she is such a nursing advocate. She was a "pioneer" of nursing in the days when everyone else was bottle feeding and formula was the thing to do (80s). But she only nursed until we were one. I don't know if she quite realizes that now I am the "pioneer" of nursing past one lol. In a way I'm actually following in her footsteps pushing western boundaries.
