I would also like to chime in and say that even though there is less pressure because you can feed solids after the year point, there is also signifigant DANGER in terms of actually losing your supply before hand. it's not a magic number persay, BUT I would be VERY concerned about someone cutting out pumping sessions at 8 or 9 months and expecting nothing to change in terms of supply. SOME babies may be able to reverse cycle enough so that you don't lose you supply but at that age you are taking a very REAL RISK in terms of being able to keep up supply when you are the childs primary source of nutrition and aren't mimicking all the times a child would eat.
