That's wonderful!  Congratulations!  That truly is an accomplishment.  Not many woman have the commitment to see it through to a year while working FT and pumping, even with the supply issues.  Good for you!

Thanks ladies!   :D  I think this may be our last week of 4 feeds per day.  When I'm not home Trenton is down to one bottle ebm (in the afternoon with a snack).  He is drinking whole milk fine from a straw or sippy cup.  Not as much as he had been, but a sufficient amount I think.  I plan to continue the morning and evening feeds for as long as my body supplies and Trenton is interested.

Would you drop the morning or afternoon feed first?

I would drop the afternoon feeding first.  Both my kids have dropped the morning feeding last, since that was the most important for them, plus you wouldn't have to pump for that afternoon feeding.

oops!  I meant mid-morning or afternoon feed.  I will definitely continue the early morning feed for a while.
