DS turned one earlier this month and I started pump weaning last week. First, I dropped my morning pump and started pumping to fully empty once a day at lunch. This week, I'm trying to decrease my pump session by 5 minutes. If I reduce by 5 min per week, it will take over a month to wean. I have recurrent clogged ducts so I'm really nervous to be more aggressive, but this will take forever! What was your plan?

When I was down to pumping once a day, I reduced my time by 2-5 minutes each day, so it only took me a week or two to cut the last session completely.

@Adira: Ah ok. That sounds much faster! Did you have a lot of engorgement?
-
@peaches1038: No, none at all. Although by the time I was down to one pump a day, I really wasn't producing that much anymore. Are you still getting a lot out of your one pump?
-
@Adira: I got 10 oz in a 20 min pump and milk was still flowing.
-
@peaches1038: Jealous! But in the case, I'd probably reduce time by ~2 minutes each day (instead of 5). Good luck!!

@Adira: thank you!
