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.

The supply will decrease for sure. Your body is like very smart computer and it calculate your lack of pumping as lack of need of breastmilk. Count first your baby's need before trying to reduce the pumping frequency
