A mother will continue to produce milk for as long as the baby is nursing. Then, you can keep your milk supply going after weaning your baby by means of manual expression or pumping. The way I understand it, as long as there is demand for the milk, the milk will keep producing. This will go on as long as you want it to. I do not know, however, if menopause affects one's ability to produce milk.

∙ 14y agoNursing your baby for four months is a great start! Good job on doing the right thing so far. The national association of pediatricians recommends that a baby me exclusively breast feed for a minimum of six months. So keep up the good work and keep feeding your child the very best. If breast feeding is getting hard for you, contact your local chapter of La Leche League. They can give you additional support and advice to help you keep doing what your baby needs.
