Going back to work - BF / Bottles

Afternoon everyone! Wondering if I could get a bit of advice/experience here. Going back to work in 2 weeks, and not sure what to do with regards to feeding. We combi feed, so she gets 2 bottles a day and is BF the rest. She’s 9 months next week, and loves her food! She’ll be in daycare 2 full days and then with me the rest of the week. I normally do a bottle during the day and then before bedtime, but she’ll be getting 2-3 bottles at daycare as well as food. Does anyone know if my supply will adjust for those 2 days without needing to pump? Or should I follow daycare lead and start to give her more bottles at home? I don’t mind fully if this is the end of our breastfeeding journey, as I got an amazing 16months with my first. But at the same time it’s super handy getting her over to sleep in the night and she’s currently waking every 1.5hrs so I don’t want to lose that 😂

How is the combi feed working for you?

Hey, I’ve been back about 2 months. I wear a pump at work but my supply just adjusted. At weekends I can feed fine but I produce less milk on week days. Some days I only produce enough for one bottle in the day but the weekends no problem!

We combo feed and I went back to work in September (4 days a week). I pump just at lunch time on my work days and haven’t noticed any dip in supply. I can feed through the day on the days I’m not working too ☺️
