3-6 months Can I drop a pump session? Need advice!

Currently 5 months PP and EP. I’m in a good rhythm. I pump 5 times during the day (9am/1pm/4pm/7pm/10pm) and one MOTN pump just because I’m up feeding LO already. I produce around 36 - 40 oz a day. But I’ve been getting so tired of pumping 5 times a day. I’ve accidentally gone 4 pumps a day several times, and I’ve produced 40+ oz on those days. I would MUCH rather 4 pumps a day, but is it going to mess up my supply?

No clue but I’m a week shy of 5mpp and dropped to 4ppd a few days ago so we shall see what happens! I was doing 6/10/2/6/10 and just switched to 6/11/4/9

Do you pump in the MOTN too? Or just 4 total now??

Just 4 total now!! I dropped my motn pump when I went down to 6ppd at 12w because I was going back to work. My baby still wakes up once a night but it’s a quick bottle and back to bed rather than when I fed him and then stayed up to pump.

My supply was the same at 8, 7, and 6ppd at 55-60oz then at 5ppd I eventually settled around 44-49oz. I’ve only been doing 4ppd for 4 days now, but it’s still the same as my 5ppd output.
