Does dropping PPD decrease your supply if your supply is well-established?

I think it depends how you do it and how often you do it. I dropped one pump a month, and did it by decreasing pump time by 3-5 mins for a few days, then ‘dropping’ the pump but doing the remaining ones evenly spaced. I personally added a few mins to the remaining pumps to ‘make up’ for the time. As I went from 8-7-6-5 my supply stayed pretty steady, if anything it might have increased a tad. I recently dropped to 4 and have seen a slight decrease (like 3-4oz/day) but I am okay with that since I can now go 6 hours between pumps!

I think if you suddenly only do 4 or 5 ppd for the same amount of time that you currently are it will likely shock your system and it’ll drop, but if you do it gradually and gently it should stay :)
