I’ve decided to start my end to pumping. I currently pump about 4/5 times a day. I’m going to try the cabbage trick and cutting down my pumps to 3/4 times a day. Any tips?

I gradually reduced the amount I pumped and in the end I didn’t experience any discomfort. So i initially dropped a pump, then after a few days dropped 2 pumps and eventually I was down to pumping once a day then once every other day and then I was able to stop completely. It took me about 2 weeks I think x
thank you!! I’m trying this today. Did you pump for less time also? I usually do 25 mins

I was also told when you so getting milk from the pump, you need to hand express those last bits that linger X
I’ve never been Able to hand express😩

I stayed at roughly the same time (I did 15 mins per side). As I pumped less I started to get less from each pump so could tell my supply was dropping. I hope it goes well for you, good luck :) x
thank you!
