Pump Weaning Help Needed
JamieK1882

My LO is 2 months old and I am have been pretty much EPing. I am trying to wean from the pump as I've had numerous issues with clogged ducts (usually at least 2 a week) and can't continue when I'm back at work. I'm looking for advice on the best way to wean without getting more clogged ducts.
My LC said to just decrease the time every few days, which seems consistent with kellymom. I started last Friday by decreasing to 12 minute pump sessions (instead of 15) and spreading them out to 4 hours apart. On Monday, I went down to 9 minutes.
The problem is I feel like my supply hasn't dropped yet. I still often feel engorged and have had 2 blocked ducts since Friday.
Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else successfully weaned from the pump?
TIA!
