In my experience, as Fleur and Mel have said, when I dropped a pump my supply would level out of a few days and then reach it's new level and remain steady. It can be a very worrying time though. It becomes so ingrained to watch those levels and not let them drop too much.
As for me, I've finally done it. My last pump was on Friday night. I only got 60mls and decided fighting fate (be it decreased supply or unfortunately lack of support from DH to allow me time to pump - he didn't see the need to go past 12 months) was not good for any of us. So, After 54 weeks my pumping days have ended. I'm sad but happy. I think it will take a little while to really appreciate what I've done and the huge commitment it was. I have about a weeks supply of frozen EBM that I'm working through and transitioning DS onto cows milk. I think it's going okay, but DS is miserable atm due to teething so it's a little hard to say for sure. I must say I'm looking forward to when I can just throw the bottle in the microwave to heat up rather than waiting for the bottle warmer. It's a small thing
