Dropping pumps
Hi! I’m looking to hear your experiences from dropping from 4 to 3 pumps. Have you reduced duration first? Have you redistributed pumps to have more even gaps in between or just dropped one and left other 3 the same?
Please share your experience.
Thanks!

I didn’t reduce pumping time, I did 30 min first thing in the morning and 20 min for my others. That stayed the same until I actually started trying to stop pumping all together. I redistributed the pumps as evenly as I could throughout the day (nap time dependent!)
Thank you! I am leaning towards redistributing, but since it’s nap depending I find it tricky!

I have reduced from 4 to 3 in the last 3 weeks and I’m finding it so much more manageable. I redistributed the pumps at times that work best for me. I still pump once in the night as that’s when I get the most milk and don’t find it too much hassle and then redistributed around that! I go from 10.30am to 6.30pm with no pump now! Definitely ready to pump by that time but I find I’m actually looking forward to pumping rather than dreading it 😂
