I have a week in June where I won't be able to feed my baby - I've known about it for ages - and originally I thought I would stop by then as he will be nearly 9 months. But having hated breastfeeding for the first 7 weeks, I now love it and I don't think I want to give up then if he doesn't want to. I have been back at work for 2 months and expressing and will continue to do so until he is 6 months, then introduce formula for daytime feeds but would love to keep the morning and evening (and nighttime) feeds going.
So my question is, at 8/9 months, do you still get engorgement if your baby doesn't feed for a while? If I expressed 3 times a day, would that maintain my milk supply? Do you think it's possible to do this?
