Hi,
I have no answer to this but I am very interested in the answer. Hope someone can share their experience!
I am very interested in this - good stuff can be more concentrated if we do 1X. It could motivate me to hang at 1X instead of stop altogether when DS reach 6 months. Do you have more information can share with me on this?
Thanks and lets wait for someone answer this.

Found some info on composition of BM at low volumes here's the link:
http://www.kellymom.com/nutrition/milk/immunefactors.html
I can't find the original article
Goldman AS et al. "Immunologic components in human milk during weaning." Acta Paediatr Scand. 1983 Jan;72(1):133-4.]
Or even the abstract for it, probably not in English. Is anyone better at lit searching than me and could find it?
Hi,
I found that literature but I got to pay to read it....
But, instead, I found this. Very technical but also interesting, take a look!

At least three months now, I think - can't remember! My supply seems to have been quite constant, at about 30-50 ml a day, which is an ounce or two. I don't see why we shouldn't be able to do it indefinitely: lots of BF toddlers only breastfeed once a day, some only a few times a week.
I've just returned from a week-long camping trip without the pump (had no discomfort at all) and will let you guys know how long it takes for my supply to return! (Day 1: 70 ml, Day 2: 10 ml)
