A question of milk supply

[janx]

I am going back to work three days a week in december. Ds will be 1 year by then. I was wondering about carrying on bfeeding him. At the moment I feed him about three times a day - obviously I won't be able to do that when I am at work and I can't see myself doing loads of expressing. How will it pan out does anyone know? Will my supply drop too much to feed him much when I am not at work iyswim

At a year you can easily go to one or two feeds per day - say morning and evening or as soon as you get home and just before bed.

Your body will adapt to the new demand.

Thanks - that would be ideal. My dd wasn't interested in bf after 1, but ds is more keen, so I do want to carry on

yep

I went back to work earlier but stopped expressing at a year - dd (14m) usu feeds at bedtime, midnight and sometimes morning too and my supply is fine.

I didn't go back to work but from about a year we dropped dd's daytime feeds (I didn't feel as comfortable feeding in public so she sometimes had daytime feeds at home but otherwise it was just morning and bedtime). We carried on morning and night until she decided to stop at 18 months. I think by a year you should be able to just feed a couple of times a day with no effect on your supply.
