If I nurse only twice a day (in the morning and evening) will my breasts continue to produce enough milk to maintain this twice daily routine? Thanks.

Yes. Your body will adjust and you will have enough milk for the feedings.

If you gradually go to twice a day feeding, you can maintain this routine. If you are feeding 4 or 5 times a day now, take at least a week or two to gradually go to the twice a day feeding. If you don't have a week or more, (going back to work or something), then nurse when you can and consider pumping some in between for several days. Gradually taper off to the twice a day feedings.

Yes they will! I nursed my son from age 15 months until 25 months only twice a day and I had plenty of milk. Your body adjusts to the demands of the child...good luck!

If you only nurse 2 times a day. your breast will not make much milk. Your body produces milk with a supply & demand. They supply what is demanded. if there is a low demand they will not nake much milk at all. Try pumping milk to increase your supply. Good luck

For some women, YES. For others, not for very long. I assume this is because you are working? If you nurse more often on the weekend, you can maintain this for a fairly long time. Consider getting an Avent hand pump (not very expensive) for lunch time use.

Some women have no problem keeping kind of schedule. I know a lot of nursing mom's that have done it. However, some do notice that eventually the supply dwindles. It just depends on your body, but there is the possibility that your supply will dimenish.

My aunt has a 6 month old and only nurses at night and she said it's great! I assume you should be fine! The body will asjust to your babies feeding times! Good luck!

I believe so. Your body adjusts to the baby
