Weaning from the pump

christyandnate

I have been dropping pumping sessions with great success since DS turned 1, but I am still pumping morning and night.  DS weaned at 10 months so I have just been solely pumping the last 2 months and I am so ready to be done!  How do I go about this?  Drop one pump and then the other a few days later?  I have been trying to pump for less time.  I LOVE not having to take my pump with me to work!!  Thanks!

I got down to 2x a day and did that for maybe a week or so?  Then went down to 1x a day - I think a day later I woke up leaking so I did pump a little bit that night, but then went back to 1x a day (in the morning) for about 5 days or so, then I was able to stop.  I only pumped enough to take pressure off, not completely empty.  I also hand expressed in the shower after I quit totally just to make sure I didn't get any clogs.  I did take Sudafed a few times but I'm not sure if it really helped or not.
