Advice on dropping MOTN pump?
Hello all, I’m sure this has been asked before, but I am looking for some advice. I am currently 13 weeks PP and I believe my supply has mostly regulated. I have successfully dropped from 8 PPD to 6 PPD and am currently pumping at roughly 7 am, 10 am, 330 pm, 630 pm, 930 pm, and 3 am. I have not noticed a significant dip in supply.
I would love to go from 6PPD to 5 ppd, cutting out the 3 am pump. My baby wakes up once a night which we are thankful for but I’m getting up to pump and my husbands getting up to feed - when it’s just one of us we are getting up more. I know we are lucky in ways - but I really think dropping the MOTN pump would help both of us from getting up every night and we can switch on and off for feeds or baby duty.
Is there any way I could realistically go from 930 pm - 7 am? Supply dropping aside, I’m worried more about mastitis/clogs. I am okay with some drop in supply, I just don’t even know if it’s realistic to go this long without pumping. Any advice would be so appreciated as I am a FTM and learning all of this. I appreciate you!
