will my milk dry up?

[sasholi]

Hi all

just thinking about weaning bubba down to one breastfeed per day because I am going back to work. Does anyone know if they think my milk will dry up or will i still produce enough for that first morning feed?

Your milk shouldn't dry up - it still works on the supply and demand principle - you produce enough to replace what is being removed. I had DD1 down to one feed a day for about 6 weeks before dropping it altogether and there was certainly still a supply there even though it was only once a day. (I stopped because I was pregnant and needed my boobs back to myself for a few months!)
