    Thanks Olive. I'm pretty confident in my supply, don't seem to have any shortage of milk. But it does worry me because it really seems that he is reducing the amount that he has... I guess I thought that this wouldn't happen for awhile yet, but when I talk about weaning I see it as a long thing over 6 months as we gradually increase the amount of solids he is having. I suppose I just need to follow his lead and be confident in his ability to regulate how much he needs.

    BTW he had a great feed at 9am - both sides for a good amount of time (just like what he used to do). That gives me a bit more confidence too.
