Sorry i know this question has been asked in various forms before...

I am back to work in a month, DS will be 7 months. He was until recently EBF, but at 5 months I introduced a cup of formula mid morning to get him used to it. He takes about 4 ounces.

When i go back full time, i will be leaving the house at 6.30 (so DH will do breakfast and drop at nursery) then picking him up from nursery and take him for bedtime etc. No opportunities to pop back at all.

so... my question is will my supply stand only doing the bedtime and night feeds or will it dwindle away to nothing - will i need to pump during the day? I don't particularly want to and i am fine with him having formula while i'm not there.

I have no particular desire to keep BF, if I'm honest, but I can't really see how i get him to sleep at night without a boob or bottle (and he won't have a bottle). He doesn't feed to sleep for naps but seems to need it at night, so its a handy thing to be able to do!
