EPer's weaning question

KellyeteKellyete
in Breastfeeding

My son has not nursed for over a month, and I have been pumping in place of it.  I have gotton myself down to pumping twice a day (I get a total of 8 oz no matter how many times a pump).  How do I go from two to zero without becoming a leaky mess?

TIA

    Once I got down to 2, I pumped for about 1 month like that until my supply dropped enough to not feel super full before the next pump.  Then I stretched my pumps out to 15-17 hours in between for a couple of days, and then I just dropped the one, and pumped right before bedtime.  It only took a week or so of that, and then I skipped one, and pumped the next night (so 48 hours), and then I just quit after that one.  I am at 96 hours since the last pump right now, and am considering pumping one last time to relieve a little pressure I am feeling...but I may be able to just let it ride, we will see.
