When should I drop to 2 pumps/work day?

I have 220 oz of milk in the freezer and DD takes 8-12 oz/day at daycare (so I have anywhere from 18-27 days worth of milk for daycare if I stop pumping now).  I'm still pumping 3 times a day at work and most days twice at home (one side before she nurses in the morning and again before I go to bed).  DD has just recently dropped from 3 to 2 bottles during her time at daycare and I'm thinking it's probably time to drop to 2 pumping sessions.  My goal is to get to 1 year and then transition to cows milk.  She's a little over 10 months now.  WDYT - drop to 2?  Did you notice much of a change in supply when you did that?  I don't know why I have such a problem doing this - I LOATHE the pump, lol!

I would be more inclined to drop the session before bed than the ones at work. Which session are you getting the least milk from?

I get about 3 oz each at 6:00 and 9:30am, and about 2 oz each at 12:30, 3:30 and before bed.  I definitely don't get a lot, but thankfully DD is only taking 12 oz a day at daycare!  I just thought it might be nice to "free up" some of my work day - as it is, I pump for 20 minutes at a time, 3 times a day and it does take a lot away from my productivity, as much as I try to work while I pump.  I think I'll probably try to stick with 3 for now - can't hurt as long as I can swing it with my schedule.
