Pumping?

[whitnessforhim]

I work fulltime, pump at work and EBF my DD nights and weekends. Right now I pump in the morning at 7am just after her morning feeding and then every 3hrs until I get home (10am, 1pm and 4pm). Do you think I could switch this to every 4hrs and not see a decrease in my supply? Pumping at 7am, 11am and 3pm. Essentially thats removing one pumping session a day.
I'm really hesitant about doing anything to jeapordize my supply due to some issues I dealt with in the past. Do you think this would make much of a difference?

All I can say is, it is worth a try. If it seems you see a dip that does NOT recover n about 4 days, go back to your old way for a couple of more weeks and try again.
I have seen many women pump way less times and produce way more milk than I ever thought possible! To that end, each person is different and the older your baby gets, the more slack you may be able to give yourself.
Does that make sense?

Yes, it makes complete sense. Ok im gonna give it a try next week. Keep me in your thoughts...one less pumping session would be just lovely!!! Thank you for your time.
