I'm breastfeeding mummy. My LO just started having solids at 6month now. Do I still need to pump exclusively to maintain milk supply? My milk supply is low (120-140ml) and it is just sufficient for a meal per session. I feel really really exhausted now. I direct feed her once I back from work until the next day morning (8pm, 11pm, 1am, 3am, 6am). And pump at work 3 times daily. Any advice to readjust my schedule as LO has started solids now? So that I can have a minute to rest. Much appreciated.

My baby started eating solids too but we're still breastfeeding her. We cannot actually tell if our babies are eating enough form solid intakes so might as well still breastfeed them so we can be sure that they still get sufficient nutrients. Keep pumping and keep breastfeeding!
