LO is also 16 months old, and nurses twice a day. If he skipped a couple nights in a row, I'd worry about my supply readjusting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pump-once-a-week-for-a-16-month-old-for-my-supply#post-1490137 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:01:45 +0000 JoyfulKiwi 1490137@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 18 months and my husband &amp; I alternate putting him to bed at night. So, I nurse him every other night (no nursing when dad puts him to bed). I don't pump and my supply seems fine. I think your body will adjust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pump-once-a-week-for-a-16-month-old-for-my-supply#post-1490091 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 18:14:35 +0000 californiadreams 1490091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work full time since LO is 12.5 months old and I am down to basically two nursing sessions on work days. On the weekends, I also nurse 2 -3 times per day.</p> <p>For my job, I have to work one late evening per week so I get home after LO is in bed. I was initially pumping this night at work and saving the milk for the following week. I am not doing it for his calcium intake as he eats plenty of cheese and yogurt - and he barely touches milk in a cup (breast or cow's milk). </p> <p>I am basically pumping to maintain my supply since I usually nurse him before bed and this one night a week I don't. Is it still necessary to do this after 16 months? Will my supply really suffer if I don't nurse/pump one evening per week? Because I am really hating it now and don't feel like pumping!<br /> Especially since most of the milk gets wasted! </p>
