I've breastfed my son since he was 5 weeks old (milk came in at that time). He's now 3 1/2 months old and is sleeping through the night (from 8:30 p.m. to about 5 a.m.). He's also started taking longer naps during the day. But all this means that he isn't breastfeeding as ofen, so my very small supply is dwindling. He takes up to 7 oz. through the supplementer and gets a little from me each day, perhaps an ounce or so, I'm guessing. I pump between feedings to keep this small supply going, but it's getting harder to keep the supply. I enjoy the breastfeeding time with him so much, and I'm reluctant to let it go. Has anyone been in this position? Any words of advice for me?

One lactation consultant gently reminded me that motherhood is a series of "letting go" times, where you have to make a transition when your child makes a transition. But I'm having a hard time with this one.
