My pedi said that I should still pump once a day to keep up my supply in order to feed DD at night and am. Do you do this? I was really hoping to get off the pump. Argh!
Well, thanks to DD waking up twice a night, I BF more than twice a day (but I go 8 hours a day without pumping). I'm totally off the pump and no supply issues so far (it's been almost a month).
Nope. I don't pump anymore, and DD has plenty of milk whenever she wants to nurse. She's at usually 3x a day now, but sometimes it's as little as one or two. I can still feel let down, and DD tells me she's drinking milk. I stopped pumping during the day when she was 12 months old. I nursed her at night until about 26 months when I night weaned her. My supply has been fine the last 4 months with just the 2-3x a day.

Heck no, I don't pump! LOL. 6+ months of 2x/day nursing and no supply issues. My supply is down (I can tell because I do pump when I travel) but I think that's just because DD is nursing less as she gets older.

NO! I stopped pumping at 11 months because I had enough milk stored up. After 12 months we went down to am and pm feedings with no pumping. Now she's only nursing in the am.

I feed 2... 2X a day and I do not have issues with my supply.
I do not pump; I hate pumping.
