Hi
Going back to work in December when DD is 9months and she is going to nursery full time from then. I wont be able to express at work (I know I can if I request a room etc but I think that will make things harder than they will be already)but I'd really like to retain a couple of feeds to a) give her some BM immunity and b) have some close time with her.
Practically speaking it will probably have to be the dream feed (if she still needs it by then) and the early morning feed. Possibly the bed time feed but that depends on what happens with work)
If I ramp down to two feeds a day, will my supply produce anything meaningful for her if only been used twice a day?
Also, can anyone tell me roughly how long should I take to drop down from my current 7 feeds a day to 2 feeds a day?
I know Im going to have to bite the bullet and give her formula soon but dont want to until im ready to start the ramp down.
For info, I've been exclusively BFing DD who who is now 6months. We have started BLW but she isnt taking anything meaningful yet so her feeds are still the same quanitity as before weaning.
TIA
