Will ending co-sleeping damage my milk supply?

My DS is 11 weeks old and I have had real problems with low milk supply since day 1. I have literally tried everything (and am still trying!) to improve things but no luck so have ended up mixed feeding although I would have loved to exclusively BF Sad.

I have been co-sleeping and as I always have lots of milk overnight am able to exclusively BF during this time. However, I think we may have to try and get DS into his moses basket as he is now not sleeping well and I think we tend to wake each other up a lot. I am starting to accept I might not be able to increase my milk supply but would at least like to protect what I do have. I'm just worried that if we stop co-sleeping my supply might drop, particulary as my DS tends to come on and off the boob quite a lot overnight for little snacks, which he wouldn't be doing if we slept seperately.

Any experiences of this, or reassurance would be really appreciated! Thanks!
