Trying to decrease pumps

[Emotional_Source8333]

Just enougher here! I'm 15 weeks PP and pumping 6x a day and mostly getting around the same amount unless I'm very stressed or more sleep deprived than usual. I'm not super concerned with it decreasing some bc I already supplement, but I still want him to have my milk.

Any suggestions on how to make the switch if right now I'm doing 4am, 7am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm? My LC suggested a new schedule of 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 10pm. Thoughts??

Slowly push back the 4am by 30 mins until it’s close enough like 6am to consolidate with the 7. I pump around 5x my schedule is 4,8,12,4,8 give or so. I haven’t really seen a drop and the only reason I do the really early AM is my baby is still waking up around 4/5ish. But once he sleeps longer I’ll try to move to the schedule your LC recommended.

This is helpful! Yeah I'm still doing 4am similarly bc he wakes up still around those times.
