Weaning Advice

I'm an EPer and trying to wean off the pump.  I cut back my pumps very slowly and now I'm down to once a day. I only get around 3oz now. Today I feel like I'm getting mastitus back ( I had it in the past). I would normally pump a ton and it would eventually go away, however, I don't want to trigger my body to keep making milk so I don't know if that's the way to go.

Any advice?

  • Do you have a lump in any one side? I would massage that and not pump too much but enough that it goes away.  If you notice it getting worse I would maybe pump more on just that one side.

  • Not really any noticable lumps, but definitely red spots where it is sore.

    Thank you for your advice--I will do that.
