Dropping a pump and weaning
Ftm to 10mo and I originally started EBF but around 7-8mo mark switched to EP because of biting and preference from baby. When I switched I started with 6 ppd, then 5 and now 4 (8a 2p, 8p, 2a). LO has been eating solids really well and has been taking less milk. Ive been able to rebuild my stash a little because of it which is nice and thinking it will help when I fully wean and start transitioning her to whole milk.
Now, I'm looking to drop a pump (thinking the middle day one so I can enjoy the summer afternoons) without it affecting having enough to feed my baby. But what are opinions on this? Will I feel too full during the day vs if I skipped the night one and I'm just sleeping?
Also, I never had a clear vision of my breastfeeding journey, just that I wanted to feed her to the best of my ability. Now that I'm seeing her have less, I'm trying to figure out when to hang up the pump and wean. But how much will she need when she's 12mo or 14mo? What's a schedule like that? Could I wean at 13mo and go through my stash and be done by 15mo?
I feel like I was just getting the hang of EBF and now EP and its changing again. I think I just have anxiety of not producing enough when I dont know what to expect for this next chapter of earlier toddlerhood 😭😵💫
