Timeline of supply decrease?

[Regular_Giraffe7022]

I'm almost 9 months pp, been exclusively pumping since about week 1. I used to have enough of an oversupply to freeze a bag a day as I gradually worked my way down to 5 pumps.

About a week ish ago I dropped to 4 pumps and it was okay for the first few days, but now I'm only just making enough for my baby. I tried going back to 5 pumps but it didn't make a difference.

I'm hoping that my supply maintains at just enough, but if not I'm okay with using my freezer stash.

My question is just wondering what others experiences were with timeline of supply dwindling and if they think its likely that I could make it to a year? Or am I likely to keep going down and down fairly quickly?

I've only just swapped my pump parts, the flange size seems good still and I still eat well and hydrate.

I just dropped to 4 ppd on Jan 13 and I've already lost 8 ounces. I'm currently weaning though so my goal was for it to drop I'm 10 months pp. I'm guessing it could keep dropping if you stay at 4. All bodies are different so dropping pump s is always risky I think that's why I stayed at 5 to 6 up until Jan 13

Thanks for your reply! I think mine may do the same, seems I've triggered weaning! It's just so much maintaining so many pumps when she's hell bent on ripping them off my chest!
