LMW is 9 months now and I'm exclusively pumping. She drinks just a tad more than my daily output so between that deficit and throwaway milk (usually left over from her bedtime bottle that I can't save til the next day) I only have to supplement from my stash about once every 2-3 days.

I'm trying to do the math but I haven't been keeping track of how much frozen stash I've used so far (I guess I'll just have to go home and count it!). I'm hoping to decrease to 2 pumps a day. My output is usually about 7 oz 3x a day, so about 20-22 oz per day. I'm guessing that if I reduce to 2 pumps a day and my milk production doesn't take a TOTAL dive because of it, I'll get about 15-18 oz per day, which means I'll probably be thawing one bag from my stash per day. If I have enough stash to last her til 12 months, then I'll be clear to go down to 2 pumps a day!

My question is... am I risking clogged ducts and mastitis by reducing to 2 pumps a day? I was worried going from 4 to 3, but so far it's been ok (some pain still but no clogs or mastitis... yet... knock on wood). But only 2 pumps a day seems a little extreme.

Does anyone else pump only twice a day? or maybe just once?? (and NOT nurse in between.)
