At one point does a weaned baby need nothing to "replace" breast milk? N is getting at most one bottle a day now and I'm just not making as much as before. She still nurses at night and probably will for awhile, but I doubt she is getting very much at all.
She is a BIG eater, though. Yesterday she had a whole banana and a mini pumpkin muffin for breakfast alone. She eats 3 full meals a day plus snacks.
Honestly, I'm tired of pumping during the day (I only pump once, sometimes twice now, but I don't get more than 1 oz the second time so it isn't really worth it) and would prefer to quit, but I don't want to put her on formula. We also don't plan to do cow's milk.
I probably just need to ask the ped next week, but in summary, can she go without a bottle of breastmilk during the day if she is still nursing at night and not have to supplement formula?
