Weaning

Public·32 members

I thought when weaning, it was also recommended to shorten the duration of pumping sessions to signal body to produce less milk. However I am confused on this, because it seems like this could also cause you to become full and cause clogs. Can anyone explain this? I've only been extending time between pumps, not cutting duration.

It all really depends on your goals/how quickly you want to wean.


For me, I still produce milk and am weaning 20 months postpartum. If I ever felt engorged I just pumped enough to feel relief. Keep in mind this is what worked for me with my oversupply & freezer stash.

Does anyone have tips on how to reduce supply? I've dropped to 2 pumps/day (I did it gradually on a schedule) but my body isn't quite adjusting and by the end of the day I am super full. I don't want my supply to completely dry up but I think I need to help it adjust to this new schedule.

It usually means you may of be weaning well or weaning faster than body allows. Being super full can cause clogs or worse. Happy to discuss a personalized plan in a consult if you are ever interested.
