My baby is a month old and I'm wondering if there's a reason to need to pump every 2-3 hours? My LC suggested getting a 4-5 hour stretch of sleep if the baby will allow it so I've been going a little longer during nighttime hours. It seems I produce as much milk as I would have in two sessions afterwards. Is there a reason to pump every few hours or can I cut it back and get the same supply with less sessions? As long as I keep pumping, won't my body continue to meet demand?
