Missing feeds effect on supply (9mo)

Ok I've tried dd (9mo) on having a substantial snack, including dairy, in place of her afternoon bf and she seems happy with that arrangement. So that is my plan for when I go back to work next month. It will only be 2 afternoons a week and I plan to bf for that feed still when I am home.

My question is will I need to pump to maintain supply at the time she would be feeding? I'm not too full so don't think I'll need to donut for comfort.

I'm just a bit concerned about supply at the moment and my boobs just feel less full these days. I also got my period back this week so things feel like the bf is slowing up, but I really want to bf at least to a year.

I was away from my DS for 8 hours, 2 days a week for the last 6 months and missed 2 feeds a day but did the others and my supply has been fine. I started off by expressing but he wasn't drinking it, so I stopped.

Although my DS is currently on a nursing strike, so I'm expressing at. Moment, I've ad no problem with my supply.
