Down to 1 pump during the day, but my body is taking its sweet time regulating. Hmm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-pump-wean-1#post-1014378 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 18:48:52 +0000 MaisyMay 1014378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I forgot about taking allergy meds. If I took those for a few days, I'd be dry as a bone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-pump-wean-1#post-1013472 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:58:12 +0000 blackbird 1013472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was doing 3 time a day for about 20 min, too! The first day, I just cut the time back to about 10 minutes. It huuuurt. That night, I just squeezed out the super sore spots in the shower. I also took sudafed and advil that night. The next morning, again, i just squeezed some out into the sink. I started pump weaning on a tuesday morning and wedn/thurs were the most painful days. I also took sudafed every night for a few nights. Friday i just had painful spots and they stopped hurting over the weekend. I think it took a week before i had NO sore spots anywhere and could poke at them without reeling in pain. </p> <p>DH also had to hold the baby a lot for the first couple days. Any time she kicked me or leaned into me, they ached something terrible. </p> <p>I just went through this ~a month ago, so I remember it well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-pump-wean-1#post-1013448 Tue, 13 Aug 2013 12:53:57 +0000 MaisyMay 1013448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I met my pump goal, now I have to wean. Right now I pump 3 times a day for 15-25 minutes. want to get that down to two, and then stop.<br /> Does that sound right? How did you stop pumping? </p>
