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
