Can I only produce at night?

Question

I feel like maybe this is a silly question but I'm asking anyway.
My LO is 14weeks today and my days are so busy and it's hard to find time to pump. My goal was to breastfeed for a month and I've surpassed that goal. I had issues with producing enough and ended up supplementing for the past 8 weeks started off as a bottle here or there but now she's getting about 1/2 BM, 1/2 formula. Anyway, I'd love to still breastfeed her at night. I breastfeed right before bed and for mid-night feeds and then the early morning feed. Will my supply dwindle if I'm not pumping throughout the day?

Answer

Mine did not dwindle when I stopped pumping at work.  My son was 8 months when I did that. I had stored up so much breast milk that I didn’t need to anymore. My milk supply was fine when I was home nursing him mornings, evenings, nights and even weekends.

Thanks Ladies!!

Answer

With a well-established supply, this is completely doable. However, y’all haven’t been going for super long yet. Everyone is different, but having that big of a gap (especially if you try to make h the e change quickly) this early on may cause you to dry up completely. Never know til you try 🤷🏻‍♀️ but if you’re not ok with that, it may be best to keep going during the day a while longer

Answer

I need to know this too! My son gets super frustrated during the afternoon and evenings with my supply and we have to supplement. But at night and mornings he nurses. I didn’t know if I could keep this up, I really want to.
