I was out during LOs bedtime tonight and so DH put him to bed. He does this every couple of weeks and LO always takes a whole bottle of breastmilk no problem and then i pump later in the evening and I usually pump out the equivalent of what LO drank (about 4 ounces).

Tonight for some reason, LO refused to drink a drop from the bottle - but still went to sleep ok and is down for the night now. So i am wondering for the sake of my supply, do I need to pump anyway? I am afraid if I do, then LO will wake up earlier than usual because he is hungry and my breasts will be empty and we will have to try bottle again.

FYI: LO is 12 months and has also lately refused the occasional bottle at lunch when I am not around - in those cases I didn't pump as I was available to nurse him a couple of hours later. Tonight is different since he is bed for the night and usually wakes 0 - 1 times to nurse anyway.
