    It varies from mum to mum, but usually a few weeks. A lot of babies will have a feed every couple of days for a while before stopping altogether. My DS2 went a few months doing that. FWIW children still get immunity and nutritional benefit even from just one feed a day or every couple of days, so you are still going a great thing for your DS.

    Thanks for the responses . That puts my mind at ease. I was thinking my milk supply would completely stop within a couple of days and I was worried that I woudn't be able to BF if DS needed it in a few days.
