If ever? Currently I pump 3x a day when I'm at work. It'll be nice to drop the lunch session so I can get my lunch hour back. But I remember from my DD1 that even when she started solids her BM didn't decrease till after 1.

I pumped twice at work until she turned 11 months then I dropped to one session. I stopped altogether right after her first birthday.

When I weaned from the pump at 12 months
I had to pump 3-4 times a day to get what they needed
-
I dropped a session around 10 months

I pumped twice a day and went over to daycare to nurse her at lunchtime until she was 10 months and had a bad bout of separation anxiety. I couldn't stand making her melt down when she would otherwise be playing happily, so I stopped going and didn't replace the nursing session with pumping. I dropped to one pump per day just after her first birthday and stopped altogether after the holidays when she was 13 months. She wasn't quite ready for cow's milk until just recently, though, so I wanted to be sure my freezer stash would last until she could make the switch...otherwise I might have stopped pumping a bit sooner.

Probably at 10 months?

@PurplePeony: I wish I had more of a stash! Right now there's just enough extra for a date night or two.

I waited until I was ready to wean from the pump altogether. I think I dropped my first one at a little past 11 months and dropped them all by 12 months. I was struggling to keep up at the end though. I was worried if I dropped a session too soon, we wouldn't make it to 12 months with my small freezer stash.
