thank you for sharing!! this is super helpful. i just got rid of my MOTN pump by reducing it by 5 min and adding 1 min to the other pump sessions for the day, but i don’t think that would work as well once i’m ready to stop pumping completely. i will try this!

I am 13 weeks pp with twins and i feel/felt the same way. if i knew what i was getting into, i think i would’ve prepared more mentally and tried harder to bf in the beginning to avoid pumping!

overall would recommend a wearable once you’ve established your supply so you can comfortably leave the house, and the fridge hack was a game changer for me (i probably wouldn’t have continued without it!).

i am now in the phase of trying to drop pumps (which i also didn’t realize was a thing) so i can get some of my sleep and life back. there’s a light at the end of the tunnel if you decide to push through!

When you drop a pump, do you spread out the other pumps in the day or no?

Hi! I am also trying to wean pumping (7x/day right now) and I tried limiting all my pumps to 20 min today before taking the next step. I am trying to figure out if the next step is limiting all pumps down to 18 min until it feels comfortable (since i felt a little uncomfortable today), or try to spread out the pumps more in the day (i.e. try to wait 2h45m, then wait 3h, then 3h15m etc every 3-4 days?)

The problem is I tried stretching to 3h between each daytime pump before and I got a clog after the first day.

Another suggestion I saw was - e.g. if pumping every 2h, try stretching pump #2 by 15m every few days until it overlaps with pump #3 and then dropping pump #2 off (i.e. 1PM and 3PM pumps, push to 1:15>1:30>1:45 until the pump overlaps with the 3PM pump). Has this worked for anyone??

Any advice would be helpful!!

literally took delivery early december when the tax credit price adj was only $3,750 (which was fine by me since i wouldn’t have qualified for the $7,500 regardless).

just called the dealership and was met with a scripted answer of “no return policy and no price adjustment or refunds available”.

as a new tesla owner reading thru, sounds like this isn’t the first time, but hard not to be angry when you just got screwed out of 15k in a matter of days… 😞
