Working STM's

So I might be planning ahead but I can't wait for the day I can only pump once a day while at work!

Anyways, do you remember when your LO started eating less BM or formula at daycare?   Right now LO eat 3 times a day, 5 oz each.  If she goes down to 2 bottles of 5 oz, I only have to pump once a day, so is there any chance this will happen before a year?

    I'm lucky as I only have to pump twice a day and with dd I only pumped once. She started eating more solid foods around 7-8 months and I could decrease my pumping sessions. I know that by 1 year I didn't have to send a bottle at all and she was eating once in the morning and a couple of times at night. She self weaned at 14 months.

    That is good to hear. I currently only pump twice, but if she goes down to 10 oz a day I can go down to once! I am also hoping that she can be off bottles by a year at daycare.

    I can't wait for this to happen also. She takes 15 ounces while I'm gone, I pump once at 11 or 12 and usually get 10ounces then once in afternoon to get the rest. Can't wait til ican just do the lunch session only!

    DS2 only takes 2 bottles most days now. I found the trick to be to nurse right before we leave and right after we get home. I send 3 bottles, but he rarely takes the third one.

    Maybe I'm in the minority here, but my DS took 3 3oz bottles from 4 months to about 15 months...(switched to sippy cups at around 10 months, but still pumped twice a day until 15 months.  Nursed evenings and weekends until 23 months.
