1. I think you can taper off much faster, like in 3-4 weeks!
2. I don't know if you should go from a 10 min pump to nothing. But the good thing is you can always adjust on the fly!

Are you only nursing once a day? If you could nurse in the PM I would start by just dropping all those pumps that happen outside work hours.

Week 9 says no pumping... is it also no nursing? I'm starting to consider my exit strategy as well.

Off topic, but what are you planning to give Xander instead of WCM?

I'm beginning my plan of dropping pump sessions as well. (So excited!)

I would say you could probably drop the 6 am one first (do you get a lot when you pump at that time so close after nursing?)

My plan has been to wait longer in the morning to pump and basically I am closing the gap between the two sessions I do at work and will probably reduce it to one daytime pump session in the next week or two. I also considered dropping the one time I pump at night first but I thought getting some time back during the work day would be a more worthwhile priority. It's hard because I still want to keep up with being able to send enough to daycare for the next few weeks and I really don't have much of a freezer stash. Do you have many issues with engorgement currently if you miss a session?

@Adira: It will be fine!! Promise.

It looks fine, but I didn't have any issues cutting down a pump a week and weaning in a month's time

@Adira: 20-25 mins

I seriously think you are WAY over thinking this one. And I can tell you that since I am your online BFF.

@Adira: I was pumping 15 min usually, so I cut it shorter by a couple of minutes every day.

@Adira: i was up to 30 min sessions because my supply had dwindled down and i was trying to get as much as possible at that point. i cut down a session weekly. and i also adjusted nursing on the wknds a few weeks after that (previously we were still nursing more than i was pumping at work).
