My DD is 15 months old and I am still pumping breast milk for her twice a day and nursing the rest of the time. Anyone else pump past one year?

I am still pumping for my almost 13 month old. I dropped down to once a day back in Jan. She never took much at daycare (wouldn't take a bottle at all), and currently drinks about 5-6 oz a day there. My pumping output has gone way down, I get about 2 oz a day now. I had a fairly large freezer stash because initially when I went back to work I was pumping double what she was drinking. I am a teacher and will probably keep pumping until summer break, mostly because I struggled with supply at the beginning and still am paranoid I'll lose it (although she nurses fine whenever she is with me). My plan is to just nurse during the summer, and then see how things work in the fall, we might introduce whole milk at daycare, I won't pump at work at that point.

Hi, I work 2 full days a week, and 2 short days.
I pump twice a day on my full days (so 4x week) for my 19 month old

I stopped pumping at one year and he gets 2% milk instead.
