LO is almost 14 months and I am still pumping 2-3 times a day to supply him with milk when I am at work (he is MSPI). We also nurse AM/PM at home. The past two days my output has been a little low.
I try not to worry about it but...I'm worrrying about it.
Anyone else have exp. with extended pumping?

Oh my goodness... if that's not dedication I don't know what it! I quit when I lost my milk at 5 months. If I had continued to produce, I don't know that I would have lasted longer that 12 months.
Major props to you!!

I continued just past a year (13 months or so). Technically my work did not have to provide break time for pumping anymore and she moved to WCM and was just nursing when we were together.

@swurlygurl: thank you! i dont always love pumping but until we get this allergy sorted out it is what it is!
@T.H.O.U.: i feel lucky to work for a company who is supportive and as long as i am getting my work done they are happy! did you find yourself producing less at the end?

@littlebittyhouse: My supply went down some but I think that was because she started STTN around then. I think at the end, I was pumping about 6 ounces once a day?
