So I'm going back and forth on dropping a pump. I exclusively pump (I have since LO was about 4 months). She is 8 months now. I pump only slightly more than she eats, 24-28 oz over three pumps. I haven't really bothered with a freezer stash because I have a lipase issue and my milk tastes God-awful (and honestly scalding was just another thing, ugh). Anyway, I'm considering dropping to two pumps. I have an awful open blister on one side which won't go away because it keeps getting re-irritated.
Has anyone dropped to two pumps? Did your supply tank? What was your schedule? 7a/7p?

Or a more general question: is it better to drop that third pump more gradually (i.e. Push it 30 min a day) or just move it to the evening and get on with life?

I'm going to change the flanges to hopefully help with the blister (when I say blister, I don't mean a bleb). It's about 1cm away from the nipple itself )
