I have a 9 month old. She's EBF in the sense that she's never had formula. She is eating a lot of normal food though. She gets whatever we eat in smaller portions and chopped up in little pieces
She is an amazing eater. She also still BFs a good amount. She only takes 2 bottles of BM from the nanny during the day for a total of 10-15 oz. But she BFs as soon as I get home at 6 pm, and again several times at night before sleeping. She sometimes wakes around 5 am to eat, and BFs before I leave for work at 8 a.m.
I pump at work at 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. At 11:00 a.m. I get about 5-6 oz. At 2 pm I only get maybe 4 oz.
I DESPISE my second pumping session. I can deal with the morning one, but the afternoon one kills me because I don't get much and I feed her anyway as soon as I get home.
Do any other moms of 9 months old or older babies only pump once a day at work? Do you think I can get away with it without losing a lot of my supply? Remember I BF as soon as I get home and plenty through the night until she goes to sleep at like 9:00 p.m.
I want to definitely BF past a year.
Thanks in advance for any input at all.
