Will my milk dries up?

Will I lose my milk completely if I stopped pumping all together and only latches? My baby is 10.5 months. My milk supply has dipped so much and I’m starting to feel like a loser. She latches alot when she’s with me, but I’m sure she’s not getting enough but I will not reject her if she wants to latch. I am deciding to stop pumping since I’m only getting 1oz every 3 hours sometimes lesser. End of the day after 4 pumps, I’ll get 4oz enough for a night feed. But that’s about it. I don’t get engorged anymore and my breasts are always soft never heavy. Is it okay for me to stop pumping and only latches mostly at nights and weekends?

As long as baby latches, you won’t dry up. 😊 It’s normal for our supply to dip as they are preparing for solids already. And yes, do what is comfortable for you, if you wanna latch baby at night, go ahead. Don’t stress too much, another 1.5m baby will start transitioning to have more solids and can start taking in fresh milk already 😉.
