Those who pump with 11+ month babies

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Are you pumping less these days? I'm only getting like 8 ounces. Like a week or two ago, I was getting 12 or so. My babysitter said he was fine yesterday with 7 ounces, but it still bothers me a little.

    my LO is only 9 months and I can't keep up.  I pump three times a day and get only about 10 oz.  I'm going to drop a pump when he turns 10 months, I can't wait.

    Yes, my supply dropped but I also got pg when DD was 11 mos.  I cut back on DD's oz and she did fine.  She only drinks 8oz at daycare now.  Once I use up my freezer stash, we're going to mix regular milk with her daycare bottles.  I only pump once a day now and get a measley 3oz.

    Yeah, my supply seems to be dwindling when I pump, but will come back every once in a while. Once he hit about 8 or 9 months, no matter how many times I pumped in a day, I would always get the same amount.

    I plan to go to 1 pumping session a day after 1 year and mix in cows milk, but still nurse when I'm home with him. I did take a pregnancy test yesterday and it was negative. I have already used up my freezer stash. I'm really not afraid to mix in cows milk right now if I have to, but I am hoping to at least get to a year.

    My baby is only 10 months, but I have definently seen a drop in supply in the past couple of weeks.

    DS is only almost 10 months, but I've seen a drop in the last couple weeks, which pretty much corresponds to his eating- he's been eating more solids and nursing 1x less per day (or taking 1 less bottle at grandma's). I used to pump 3x/day and get 15-18 oz. Now I pump 2x/day and get 10-13 oz. I guess it's bound to happen.

    i've been wanting to post this for a few days! Liam is 11 months tomorrow. My pumping output has gone to crap lately (over the last month or so), and I think I just got my first PP AF today. Ugh. In 3 pumping sessions today, i got about 8 ounces, and he takes 15 while at daycare. I think my freezer stash will be gone sometime in the next couple of weeks.

     his pedi gave us the go-ahead for whole milk yesterday, so i may start mixing an ounce of that in in the next week or two.
