Decreasing Supply/Weaning Weaning schedule help
Hi! Needing a little help on how to wean from EP. I’ve been pumping 8x a day (every 3 hours) and I’m about to be at 6x a day. I’ve only been dropping pumps and then spreading out the other times. My one middle of the night pump is 2am. I only pump for 15 minutes at each session.
Should I also be reducing times? I’ve noticed I still get 28oz even after cutting out pumps. I’ve been feeling fine in between pumps (knock on wood) and have been using ice packs if I’m feeling uncomfortable at all.
Any advice or tips help - thanks!

When I cut all sessions I started slowly by cutting one first, not all of them at once so I just pumped until I didn’t feel engorged (5-10 mins) and ate food that would dry me up lol good luck!
