Milk supply if I stop pumping at work

I'm at a crossroad bc I can't keep on a schedule with pumping bc of the demands if my job but im not ready to eff. I'm wondering if my supply will adjust if I nurse/ pump while at home but not during the work day. Or will my supply just go completely if I do that? My supply is way down anyway. Right now my ds gets two bm bottles and two formula bottles while at daycare. Morning and night is bm.

    I pumped in the car for the first time this weekend. I have the Medela Pump in Style advanced with the car power adapter. It was awkward, and you'd kind of have to plan your wardrobe around it, but it works.

    I have about the same supply as

    I've stopped pumping at work.  I was stressing myself to get maybe one bottle for DS while he takes 3 at school.  It's been much easier and I feel a lot less stressed but I digress.  

    DS2 was on a nursing strike (so I was

    I'm in sales, too.  I pump in my car between clients.  While driving.  It's very strange at first, but I know a lot of ladies also do it.

    You can also, you know, pull over and do it, but that's less fun.
