I'm down to two sessions a day (9:00 and 3:00). It was easy to drop the mid-day session by slowly pumping less each day. But I want to cut down to one, mid-day session (~12:30). So how do I do that now? Just not pump at 9:00, pump at 12:30, not pump at 3:00? Cut back on pumping times, or slowly push back the 9:00?
Or should I just drop the 3:00 session and only pump once in the morning? In my head keeping one mid-day session makes sense because J seems to be dropping his morning nap (ack!) so if I keep this one, I'll still be able to nurse him before his (one) nap.
I'm not sure why I'm having such a hard time wrapping my head around this - maybe because I barely slept last night (and I can't even blame the baby. Sunday nights suck).
Re: help me figure out pump weaning
I also dropped that mid-day session first but then when I went down to one pump (last week) I pumped around 1-2ish. Basically, I waited to pump until I started to get uncomfortable.
Today is my first day at work without my pump and I'm a little nervous I'm going to physically need it. Eek.
I did the above and now pump only when I need relief.
