Help me break up with the pump

in Parenting after a Loss

I have been pumping 3x a day at work. Today the plan is to drop to 2. I am thinking I'll do that for a week and then drop again next week.  Yeah!

So I've been pumping at 10, 1 and 4.  I was thinking I'd drop the 1:00 and pump at 10 and maybe 3?  WWPAL do?  Does that seem ok?

    Can you push back the first pump session to 11 or 11:30 and then pump the second time at 3?

    That seems okay to me. I went from every 4 hours to every 6 hours and was okay. How much milk are you getting each session?

    I could do that too. I fed S at around 6:30. 

    JQ-I had been getting maybe 2.5 oz total each session :(

    I cut them out one at a time, every 3-4 days. I was pumping every 4 hours, whcih worked out to 3 times at work.

    So I adjusted the time between and pumped every 5ish hours to make 2 sessions, then 4 days later did only one mid-day session, then 4 days after that I hung up the pump.

    I want to break up with the pump so bad, but want to keep going for a year.

    When I dropped one of the evening pumps I slowly cut out the length of time I would pump. Normally I pump for 15 mins so I dropped it to 10 mins, then 5 and then stopped.
