Hey there. DD Emma will be 11 months old next week. We have been doing EBM the whole time with an occassional supplement of formula. I have gotten to the point where I am tired of pumping at work and am gradually weaning down to 1 pump a day. The dcp also mentioned the other day that she is drinking less milk while she is there, but she is still nursing plenty when she is home with me at night and on the weekends. I still want to nurse at night and on the wekeends, I am just sick of pumping during the work day. I guess I am just looking for a bit of reassurance that if I do indeed stop pumping and just use up my freezer stash for during the day, I'll still be able to nurse her at night and on the weekends.

Welcome Tracy!!!

You can do this, it will work to switch to a nursing-only (I loved this part!) relationship. Emma is certainly old enough, she's nursing enough that she'll still get plenty and your supply will be fine!!!

Congratulations on your pumping AND nursing success so far!!!
