DD can but since she's been teething, she's been waking up once or twice a night. I don't mind because that's nothing compared to the every 1-2 hours she did 3 months ago. Once her gums stop hurting I'm confident she'll go back to sttn.
I'm still bf'ing dd. I quit pumping for ds around the 7 month mark. I am down to pumping 3 times on work days (12 hour shifts). If dd nurses before I leave then I only pump twice. Ds gets all the milk I pump at work and I still have some in the freezer. My supply tanks in the evenings, especially on my work days. I had my first pp period last month. I've been cutting back on the nursing because of medication I am on. I have gone from pumping 33 ounces on a work day to 16. Kinda depressing, but is best that they get some formula too. At their 11 month bday I will try to only pump once at work and stop pumping all together at one year. I will nurse as long as dd wants to though if I can keep a supply. Both babies sleep through the night unless sick or teething.

Still BF/Pumping over here but supply is dwindling. If I'm lucky I get 4 ounces for my entire 3 pumping sessions combined. She's only taking 3oz bottles twice a day with my mom and I nurse her morning, dinner, and bedtime.
I've spoken to my doctor about switching her to formula so close to the 1year mark (she's 10.5 months) and she said I can begin to supplement with cows milk instead of getting her use to formula only for a few weeks.
So my plan is to freeze 2oz bags for a week and top off with 1 oz of cows milk. Then 1.5 oz bags and then 1oz bags. Still nursing/pumping until school lets out and I'll BF her until a year maybe the end of the summer.
She eats 3 full meals a day and usually 1-2 snack as well.

Youre a rock star for keeping all of that up for so long!
