Mix feeding 10mo due to return to work, will my supply drop?

[monstergoose]

I EBF my DD until we introduced the odd bottle a few months ago in preparation for my return to work. I work 3 night shifts a week so DD has bottle in the night but also has to have bottles when I'm not at work as if I feed her in the night she then has a paddy the next time she has a bottle. I feed her in the day when we're together but she's also at nursery for 2 half days and one full day so some days she only gets 1BF a day.

When I first went back to work I had to pump in the middle of the night as got really engorged but now find I get a bit full but not enough to be uncomfortable.

I'm worried that my supply will start to drop and eventually dry up but I really dont want this to be the beginning of the end?

Should I pump more to keep my supply up or will it sort itself out now I'm this far down he line?

I think we spend so long obsessively worrying about keeping our supply up in the early days that we find it hard to adjust our thinking once they start to wean. I know I have anyway! If it makes you feel better, my supply had dropped quite a lot with reduced feeding - and then DS was really poorly and fed like a newborn; it was soon merrily spurting everywhere again.

*when I say it had dropped I mean I wasn't becoming engorged at the times of the missed feeds; for the feeds I've kept up with I have plenty of milk as normal.

I went back to work at 10 months (I also do nights, days, evenings, etc - bit of a mix) - I didn't express or give formula, she just had water and food when I wasn't there. Boyfriend tried cows milk in the night after 12 months but she wasn't very interested. My supply has been absolutely fine and she's been fine too. Well established at this point I think. I got uncomfortable for the first few weeks but then it settled down.
