Greetings Everyone,
My daughter is exclusively pumping for her 3 month old. She pumped exclusively for her first child for 11 months. She was unable to breastfeed due nipple pain that was unresolved. Happily she produces a good quantity of milk quite easily. Currently pumping 5 times a day and producing 8-9 ounces in 15-20 minutes. She hasn't had any issues with engorgement or clogged ducts.
Since she has gone back to work she is wondering if she could go down to 4 pumps a day at some point. Her plan is to gradually eliminate the afternoon pump.
Does anyone have experience with going down to 4 pumps per day and continuing to produce enough during the first year?
Many Thanks,
Joan Greenberg RN, IBCLC
