Lady Neon, thanks for your reply, so can I assume if he is ok with one boob once a day, I might still have the milk to supply even at this very low level? Not keen on expressing as I have done that (seems endlessly for the girls and him also) and he hasn't been the best sleeper (is only just now doing 10:30pm to about 4-5am ish) and am enjoying the extra sleep. Will hold a ceremony to throw my pump in the bin lol. xx
Sounds like maybe he has responded to the drop in supply by feeding less, resulting in a further decrease in supply. It's quite possible he'll happily take the breast at that time even if there's nothing there - do you feel you have much milk then? Do you hear him swallowing? If he's getting formula and not demanding any other feeds then there probably isn't a great deal there, but it's hard to say really.
That's great to be getting some sleep! Totally understandable that you've had enough of the pump, too. That must be hard work.
