So, I'm practically exclusively pumping at this point (we feed at the breast maybe 1x a day). My little one is just under 3 weeks old, so I'm very much still in the "establishing your supply" phase.

However, from the beginning I've had an oversupply issue--- I have 120 oz frozen from the last 2 1/2 weeks. I was pumping every three hours like I'd read online and it was just making my body produce more. My boobs would start aching at 2 1/2 hours and i'd be dying to Pump. So I went to every 4 hours, which helped a bit.

Then, my husband stayed taking 1 night waking, and our LO already sleeps 3 1/2-4 hours at a time, so for the last 4-5 nights I've easily gone 7 hours without pumping. When I wake up, I pump more (about 10 oz in that one session). Then the rest of the day I pump every 4 hours or so. The regular every-4-hour sessions usually produce 5-7 oz and the morning pump (after going a long time) usually produces 9-10 oz.

I'm producing 30+ oz a day doing this...but I keep reading online this could hurt my supply since I'm in the early days. Will it? Or is it better for my oversupply if I continue pumping less?

I mean...if in the future I notice a big decrease, will my supply come back if I start pumping more often?

Input please! I don't really want 1000 + oz frozen. I live in a small place and don't have a second freezer. I go back to work when my LO is 4 months old, so I have more than 3 months to keep building my freezer stash.
