“I'm planning to wean from daytime feedings/pumpings at one
year (only a couple months off now!) but would like to continue feeding at
night and in the morning a bit longer. How long will my supply last if I
am no longer pumping at work during the day?” -madhatter2003
Andi Silverman: If you have always feed your baby at night,
or in the morning, you should be able to maintain your supply for those
feedings. As you eliminate the daytime
feedings or pumping session, your supply will drop during those times of the
day. Just be consistent with the night
and morning feedings and you should be fine.
