Hi mummies, is it possible to just direct latch at night on weekdays and whole day on weekends without pumping at all during weekdays daytime? Thank you loads.

If you don't suffer from engorgement from not pumping for the whole day it should be OK. But your supply will definitely drop a lot (my supply dropped to 1/4 after going back to work, even though I pump once daily), and while baby can still latch it is mostly for comfort and won't be enough to feed exclusively breastmilk. You should supplement with formula even on weekends when you're latching the whole day since the supply is already low and baby's demand will keep increasing
