I'm going back to work in a few weeks, dd2 will be 8 months by then. She's been fully breast fed, and now has 3 meals too. She has a feed in the morning, then a big feed before her afternoon nap, and another pre-bed feed, then I dream feed her at 11ish. She also has a few quick feeds in the day, but they're really more for comfort than anything else I think.
I work 3.5 days, but they're long, and I may not be home for bedtime. I'm really keen to keep feeding though. Do you think the supply will hold up if I do the morning feed and dream feed when I'm working long days, and all the feeds on the other days?
I've never managed to express very much, so I wasn't keen to try and express enough for the other feeds, as I think I'll just get stressed (and I'm happy for her to have formula for those) but I wondered if I should express when I would normally have fed just to try and keep the supply up.
I never thought I'd be worried about this, having struggled to feed dd1 and going onto formula, but I'm loving it this time and really don't want to stop!
