WWYD: Weaning Question

WasNotWasWasNotWas member
in June 2013 Moms

Ok so my game plan was to wean from pumping at work before I starting cutting nursing sessions at home, but my one pump a day is now solely determined by Ty's morning nursing session.

Monday I got 11 oz, Tuesday I got 10, Wednesday I got 9.5, and today (because he didn't eat much this morning) I got 11!

I don't think I can go all day still producing this much by mid-day! So my question is...

Next week should I drop my morning nursing session or my mid-day pumping session?

I should add that I have enough of a freezer stash to last be through the end of my weaning schedule, easy, so don't consider that in your determination :)

    Perhaps just start decreasing your pumping time? Or push it farther back each time? I would still recommend dropping it first, because you'll probably be super full in the mornings and it will just get worse until you pump.

    I EP, so I don't nurse and I produce like crazy, but yesterday I dropped my lunch pumping session and only pumped in the morning and at night and I was fine.  I made about 11 oz in the morning and 13 oz in the evening and my boobs didn't explode!


    GL! :)

    @numbersgirl08 my only concern with pushing it back is that I won't be "full" enough for before bed...

    As it is I don't wake up super full because I go from 7pm - 6am without nursing/pumping...maybe if I just extend that time to 7pm - 10am and then 7pm that will work...thanks!!

    You know the feeling though, right? Like how am I gonna go all day with 10 oz of milk in my boobs without combusting?

    That could work. For some reason I always wake up engorged - my body never got used to not nursing overnight.

    Eta: I get less engorged now since I'm weaning too. But that's why I'm dropping morning last! And I know I'll get very engorged when I go 24 hrs without nursing/pumping for a few days at least. Easier to handle when I'm asleep :)
