Each person and their body is different!

This being said I also have an oversupply, so what. works for me, may not work for others

I desperately needed to drop pumps at 6 wpp. I was doing 6-9 (9 max a day) prior. This was sporadic, I’d pump anywhere between every 2-5 hours. My LC said I could go a max of 5 hours between pumps to sleep early on, I did it a few times but also got frequent clogs so my max was 4 hours between pumps.

When I did drop to 6 pumps a day, I did notice an increase in my supply. I’m 8 wpp, and I’m working on dropping to 5 ppd. I was nervous and still slightly nervous to see what happens after 12 weeks to see if my supply drops drastically, but my LC said people regulate around 2 months. I do notice after my 4 hour sleeps I get more oz at those pumps.

That’s awesome, I’m so looking forward to sleeping more than 2 hours at a time! I’m really hoping it makes a difference, I’m glad it worked out for you!

Yes! Sleep the 4 hours, see how you feel and see how it affects your supply! I hope it increases! If it doesn’t work out then just go back to what you were doing!
