I think you have a good idea just pushing back your morning pump and just pump at the later pump.</p> <p>For me when I did this… I made sure to massage my breasts a lot during that pump session. I normally massage my breasts a little bit while pumping but when I drop a pump I message my breasts almost the whole time for the first week at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/talk-to-me-about-pump-weaning-1#post-2342949 Tue, 03 Nov 2015 11:38:45 +0000 yellowbird 2342949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to slowly start weaning from pumping. I am super over it. I would still like to continue to nurse morning/night and weekends but I do realize my supply may be inadequate to totally depend on nursing on the weekends for ds's intake.</p> <p>Background: ds is 7 months old. I have a lot of frozen milk and I still make a ton of milk daily. By this time with my daughter my supply was naturally decreasing, but this time I am painfully engorged multiple times a day. I only pump 2x daily week days and 1x on weekends. I was thinking I would push back my morning pump hourly on weekdays until it becomes only 1 pump around noon. </p> <p>I REALLY don't want to get mastitis. Are there any warning signs I should be on the lookout for while I do this? Any personal experiences? </p>
