Fleur - I've been meaning to post & ask how it's going? great to hear you've managed to reduce your expresses a bit with no problems. It is such a mindset that we get into isn't it! I found dropping from 4 to 3 pumps was soooo liberating too. I agree with what Kmn said, if you find your supply is dropping too low, you can always up it for a day or so - I found by 7-8 months my supply was so entrenched that it really didn't drop much at all. And if your goal is 12 months, soon you'll be able to freeze extra that will help you to start to cut down at the end. (Like the new name btw)

DaintreeDream - expressing again, you are just such a star! It sounds like you have such a great plan in place for DD2, how is it going now?

Claire_A - congrats on a great job! I'm impressed you were able to stop so quickly, I was petrified of mastitis and took way too long to stop I think, oh well. I don't miss it I must admit.

AFM, well i'm pregnant again, so my thoughts are turning towards BF'ing and expressing and all that goes with it as you can imagine. We shall see what this time brings. I know I'll definitely be doing some exclusions from my diet if I get another snuffly mouth-breather like DS. I'm so determined to try and BF this time, knowing just how very much work EE is, but equally am petrified that it may not work again... ah well, we'll see. Cross your fingers for me pls!

Congrats to you all again
Belfie
