Dropping My Pumping Session Help

[westiemom]

I am a SAHM and have pumped once a day first thing in the AM since DD was 8 weeks so I could have an emergency supply/daddy bottles. I pump 3-6 oz. DD is now 7 months and my freezer is full so I think I feel good dropping the pump session and NOD only and using the freezer stash we have.

How do I go about dropping the pump session? Do I just stop doing it?

Thanks in advance! 😃

You could just stop cold turkey and hand express for comfort if you're too full.

However, I'm very prone to clogged ducts and mastitis so I would gradual drop it. Pump for 15 minutes the first day, 13 the next, then 11 until you're not pumping at all. Sometime like that would work better for me.

westiemom, I've been offline for awhile, but I went cold turkey every time I dropped a pump and never had any issues.
