Drying up?!

[blake12336]

LO is nearly 11 months and I currently feed morning and night and pump twice in the day at work. I'm getting less and less each time whilst pumping, is this normal to dry up? I was considering stopping once he gets to a year anyway x

It's normal not to respond as well to the pump over time if you are nursing. If you were planning to quit at a year anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Do you have a stash you can keep using until then?

I have around 100oz in the freezer so once I can no longer pump I will use that for his bottle at nursery each day and try and feed him myself morning and night.

He seems satisfied when I nurse him, I just can't seem to get as much as I used to with the pump, and haven't changed anything such as pumping time etc to affect it.

Sounds good as he gets close to a year, he may not need milk during the day if he has 3-4 good nursing sessions anyway. Sounds like you are in good shape!
