EPers - Question about dropping pumps

texasmeg1

I pump (but have to supplement). Currently pumping 6x a day and getting about 20 oz total for the day. For those that have dropped sessions, does your output stay the same? I heard this happened for my friend but I guess I don't see how that could happen.

Yes, depending on your storage capacity. I am small breasted.. barely a B ..but I go 12 hers between pumps now and still get the same amount I got when i was pumping more often. It isn't until I reach 13 to 14 hrs between that I start to see a dip.
If you want to know how long you can go, start lengthening the time between pumps by one hour, do that for a week or two and if it stays the same, give it another hour. You will get more per session but the same total at the end of the.day.

I dropped a pump after I had been EPing for about 6 weeks and my output stayed pretty much the same.  I think that's because at that point my supply was so regular.  I have noticed that if I extend the hours between pumps for some reason that I just end up with double the volume the next time, so my output stays the same.

I've heard it can take a month to show up but in a month so many things could've caused it.

I dropped from 8-7-6-and now I'm at 5 and have a similar output. Maybe even a little more. I'm very anxious about dropping to 4 (I will be on Dec 17).

Same here.
