Will it affect my supply?

Sarah88 · Jul 22nd, 2009, 00:48 AM

I have been back at work full time and pumping twice during work for the past 5 months. Now it's starting to become a hassle and i've stopped pumping at work. Savannah takes formula just fine so she has that at daycare instead.
My mum seems to think that it will affect my supply of a night time if I don't pump at least once at work. Is this true?
So far I haven't noticed any change but it hasn't been all that long that i've stopped pumping at work.

iAre you doing just one BF a day now? or morning an night? if you are still doing 2 that should be ok. If you are down to one, you probably will notice that the supply drops down. But TBH Savannah is at an age where she may well decide she's had it with nursing anyway!! So you may never know.

She's fed morning and night. Most times it's 4/5am and again at 8am when
