I have been pumping pretty much every day since Olive was born, except on the weekends. I think doing a combination of pumping (4x/day during the week) plus nursing (nights and all weekend) has really helped me maintain my supply. If I were exclusively breastfeeding without pumping, I feel like my supply would be lower, but I have been able to maintain a pretty consistent level at almost 10 months. Right now I am even giving Charlie a couple of ounces of breastmilk every day in his bottle because I've built up a bit of surplus.

For mamas who pump and breastfeed -- do you feel like pumping long term helped you maintain/increase your supply?
