I think I'm going to drop my MOTN pump tonight (17weeks pp). I currently pump 5x a day at 3am, 7am, 11:30am, 4pm, 8:30pm. I'm planning to change to 4x a day at 6am, 11am, 4pm, and 9pm.
Does this sound okay? Any experiences with this? I'm hoping my supply won't be affected as most people I've asked have said they did not experience a drop.

I tried to do the same around that time and my supply dropped, and I had to work really hard to get it back
I’m currently six months postpartum and I pump every four hours 🫠🫠 hoping to attempt to drop the middle of the night pump as well again

No advice but would love to know how it goes as I do 5x at 14.5 weeks PP and if I could ever get down to 4 and skip the MOTN pump then it would be amazing! Good luck!

When I dropped my night pump, my day supply was mainly unaffected, but my other pumps didn’t really increase so I saw a drop overall if that makes sense?
So I was pumping around 32oz a day, and about 6oz of that was at night. After I dropped the night pump, I was pumping around 27oz.
We’d started solids and she was drinking less milk, so I didn’t worry about the dip. If you’re confident with your supply, then give it a go!

I’m 4.5 months postpartum and I just dropped from 5x a day to 4x a day about 1.5 weeks ago and I’ve actually seen an increase in my supply by a few ounces. I pump at 5AM 9AM 2PM and 8PM on average, some days the exact times may change by an hour or two just depending on what’s going on that day.
