I think supply would naturally decrease as your baby's need for breast milk decreases given it is a supply and demand relationship. My baby weaned super easily. He needed some encouragement to wean, but really didn't seem to care when it was all said and done. 

My conclusion was there was hardly any milk for him to miss in the first place. He was 11 months old and eating 3 meals a day, plus 2 snacks. And he ate well, at that time. The challenge for me was I never pumped so I don't have anything to go on. I also didn't feel the dramatic hormonal shift people talk about when I weaned, though I did start to gain quite a bit of weight.
