BF journey

I am a EP mom. Recently my boots is getting softer and softer before i pump. Does that means that my BF journey is coming to an end? But at the end of the day, i still can managed to pump the amount that everyday u can yield.

Your body has come to understand how often to “refill” the milk to suit your pumping needs. That’s why your breasts are soft and yet you’re able to pump enough:) Some people who pump regularly can go on pumping for very long. I think it’s up to you to decide when you want to wean it off. As you pump less frequently, your body will gradually slow down and eventually stop the milk production.

Usually i will pump 4 times a day as i am working. However during weekends i will tend to pump 3 times. Will it drop my milk eventually?

If u are still able to yield the same amount and pumping as per normal then i dont think so. Perhaps ur body has regulated itself.

Its more like up to you. Because as long as we pump, milk will still be there. I am also EP and planning to wean off. I am slowly cutting down my pumping sessions.
