Larne glad to hear everything is going well. WTG on the weight gain!
No progress on the BF front here - I had a bit of a boohoo about it today. I think things will be much better for me when I can accept it & move on
I hear you about going overnight! I started leaving my o/night pumps 6 hours a couple of weeks ago. I don't let it go any longer than that though & can't see that I will ever be able to - it's just so uncomfortable, I can't sleep anyway!
I'm also looking forward to reducing the number of times I pump, but the LC has told me I have to reduce my supply first. She has told me to do this by still expressing every 3 hours but only until I get the last drop of milk out. Well I am doing this (although it's more like 3 1/2 hours) and my supply hasn't dropped, although it has stopped increasing (I was gaining about 150ml/day each week).
I'm a bit confused as I thought that frequency of pumps contributed to supply, so how doing it every 3hours will reduce it I don't know... also if I can go 6 hours overnight why not through the day? or at least 5 hours?
If I give up on BFing altogether I will pursue these questions further...
