So I go back to work in three weeks. I don't want to pump at work because my daily schedule is always different. The hours are the same but I'm not always in the office. Today I'm starting to supplement w formula. I nursed this morning, formula during the day, and will nurse at night. I'm hoping that eventually I can be at a comfortable level during the day by not nursing or pumping. Has anyone ever done this and maintained a good milk supply?

Interesting. Well, I'll give it a go and see what happens. Can't say I didn't try. Thanks for your input @junebaby :)

I breast fed before work and when I was home. Also pumped every chance I could but it wasn't enough. This happened with all three of my kids that I nursed.
