Breast milk supply
My 3 month old baby is on exclusive breast feed. Earlier i used to pump extra milk, used to feed baby in bottle once in a while and store extra in freezer so that baby can take it while I join back office after 6 month. However, my baby is now refusing bottle and also not in a situation to store in freezer.
My worry is whether stopping pumping will affect my breast milk supply?

As long as the breast keeps emptying regularly, either through pumping or feeding by baby, your milk supply will not be affected. Babies do undergo phase of bottle rejection. Keep feeding your baby and in between keep giving bottle if you want your child to shift on it. Be patient it will work out😊

No it won't. You can start the weaning off now as it is 6 months . Try to add weaning diet in your office hours and then breast feed after that hope you got the answer. In case of more questions feel free to consult thanks giving
