Hi E.,
My first baby had a cleft palate so I pumped for him for about 9 months. At first I had way more than enough, then around 4 months I had to start giving him about 3-4 oz of formula a day otherwise I wouldn't have enough milk to send to daycare. It slowly kept decreasing but I kept pumping until like you say, there was almost nothing there. The last week I did it I was hardly getting a bottle of milk a day and I figured it just wasn't worth it anymore. I think one of the reasons mine dried up is because I got pregnant again when he was 6 months old and I've read that can make your milk dry up (not for all people, but some), but still it did seem to start reducing around 4-5 months old. I think it is great that you are pumping, but also do not feel bad about supplementing with some formula if you need to. It doesn't have to be all one way or all the other, just do the best you can do without causing too much stress around it. Good luck~
