Going back to work, do I need to pump?

I am going to go back to work after my son turns 1, will I still need to pump? I plan to nurse whenever we are together but really don't want to pump! He eats a lot of regular food I am hoping that will be enough while I am away and that it won't mess up my supply too much. I don't know what my schedule will be, it will probably be mixed with day and evening hours so I can't practice cutting out feedings really...

Most working moms stop pumping soon after baby turns one. Just nurse when you are together and your supply will continue to adjust to meet his needs.

No need to pump unles you want to. Most of us ditch the pump at one year; I did and kept nursing to 26 months.

No. I work 1 day a week, have clots often & I haven't had any problems so far. But it's only been 4 weeks. DS is 16 months
