Exclusive pumper, at 11 months

Are there any more exclusive pumpers in this group? I usually pump 4 times a day and get about 24 oz a day, but I’m going on a trip to the mountains this weekend and kind of want to cut down to 3 while I’m there. Is this doable? He will drink formula if he has to but I can tell he’d rather have bm. lo will be 11 months old the day I leave for mountains.. any advise?

I originally started with 12 pumps a day, then went to 10, 9, 7, 6, 5, 4, then now at the 3. Sometimes I still do 4 if I’m feeling really full and can’t handle it anymore. I started at 70 plus ounces a day and now currently pump between 36 and 45 ounces a day with the 3 pumps.

I pump twice a day. I have to pump longer then I use to but it gets us threw the day. If he is drinking a bunch one day I'd pump an extra time but I just go off of when we need it.

I exclusively pump every two hours during waking hours all day. If I drop I lost milk supply big time. Son has little interest in food. Fighting the battle of my milk supply drying up and son not being anywhere ready for milk to come to an end. (Also he has severe dairy, soy, allergies and we can’t do any formulas) when we stop breastmilk he needs to be on oat, rice, or coconut milk. :( So needless to say I am trying my hardest to keep the milk flowing on my end.
