Any working mommas nearing the end of pumping?

Question

Now that my son is approaching a year old and will be able to drink cows milk I'm thinking it's about time to stop pumping at work. Has anyone else stopped yet? I'm curious if my supply will run out or if I'll still be able to nurse him at night?

Answer

I'm SO over pumping!  And have been pumping less than I used to.  But I've been so nervous to stop until I'm okay with dropping breastfeeding in case my supply dies. Its encouraging to hear you've had no issues.  My hope is to breastfeed him until he's regularly sleeping through the night

Answer

I quit pumping at work around 8 1/2-9 months because I was struggling to get a couple ounces total a day. He still nursed on demand in the mornings and evening and all day weekends. I never had any engorgement or pain during the work day after I quit. Now when I quit nursing all together, we were down to one bed time feeding a night and I still had some painful engorgement.

Answer

I'm done with pumping it just drains me. I've been told that if I slowly stop pumping during the day my supply should adjust on it's own and shouldn't drop too much. So fingers crossed. I was hoping to make it to 2.

Answer

DS turns one in less than a week and I'm thinking of ditching the pump. I only pump once at work so hopefully it won't affect my supply. I haven't night weaned yet but I won't start until I know for sure I'm producing enough milk for breastfeeds.

Answer

I stopped pumping altogether about a month ago because my supply was getting too low to justify the time spent pumping.
Didn't have any issues

Answer

I stopped pumping at work about two months ago! My supply really hasn't changed! I still pump every morning around 5:45am and then I nurse my son first thing when I get home at 3:30! He usually nurses 3 different times in the evening, so I think that has helped keep my supply going! I did desk with some engorgment when I first stopped pumping at work, but my supply leveled itself out!
