I wanted to drag my pump session, currently i am pumping 3 hourly, 3 times at work. However, due to work schedule if i wanted to drag pump, it can only be 5 hourly apart. I wanted to know from the sudden change of pumping 3 hourly to 5 hourly, is it okay? Will i risk myself with mastitis and decrease of supply? Thank you.

You will definitely feel more engorged but I don't think to the extent of having mastitis. How about try a day or two to pump 4 hourly and after that to 5hourly? Gradually dragging the time to pump will be better. There will be a slight decrease of milk supply as compared to pumping 3hourly. Mothers who choose to exclusively pump are very dedicated mothers - determined to do the best they can for their precious babies, and they deserve respect and support. Hang in there mommy!
