Nursing in a supply and demand kinda thing. Your body will know when the baby nurses and start to produce milk for those times. The milk will build up slower so by nighttime you will have what baby needs. If you wanted to start nursing during the day again then your body will adapt to this as well.. its a matter of a few days at the most.
You do not need to pump during the day if you only want to nurse at night. Only if for some reason you cant nurse during the day for a few days but want to get back to it lets say by the weekend.. then you should pump when baby normally nurses to keep the supply right....
In the first couple of days your breast might hurt because they get so full before they adjust. You can pump or handexpress just enought to relief the pain.. dont pump any more than that or you will keep producing that much!

They should continue to produce milk until you wean entirely. Your breasts adjust to the needs of your baby, and if all he needs is one feeding a day, then they will produce enough to do just one feeding a day :)

until you re-hydrate and recover from your hangover. Alcohol is recent on your milk on a similar concentration as on your blood. So, in the journey that your blood alcohol is .5%, your milk is likewise .5%. while your BAC lowers, your milk alcohol point lowers to boot. do no longer worry to pump and sell off. Many cultures have faith that beer easily complements milk manufacturing, yet no longer that lots, and no you could actually instruct it in any case. i assume that infant would be with a babysitter, basically you mustn't enable him sleep in mattress with you once you have been eating. Be secure and characteristic exciting. ETA: heavily, the alcohol on your milk became metabolized out as your blood point dropped. that's totally unecessary to pump and sell off, except you're nonetheless tipsy and you need to pump to alleviate engorgement. i've got examine countless books, and all of the professionals agree. the main extreme factor is to drink water! :)

As long as you are getting the stimulation, they should continue to make milk.
