I have this mom's permission to post this to lactnet:

She has noticed a slight dip in how much she is pumping but baby has  
also decreased her intake of EMM from 6 to 4 ounces per feeding. Any  
advice would be very helpful.
Can we make the assumption that baby would take as much EMM as the  
typical ABM fed infant of the same age? Is intake a ratio to baby's  
weight at this age? Anyone have experience with this?

It takes a special kind of mom to exclusively pump long term. Most of  
them make it a year and "hang up the horns" shortly thereafter.

This post made me aware that there is an educational/informational  
black hole that needs to be filled. With more women exclusively  
pumping long term (either by choice or necessity), these questions may  
come up more frequently.
