Do you do it? I haven't for the past two weeks and I've been ok. So I'll pump around 10:30/11 and then again at btwn 7 & 8. Do you think thats ok? What do you do?

I did it with both DCs....actually set an alarm in the middle of night so that I kept up my supply even after they started to sleep through the night.
Once I felt confident that they were STTN for good, I dropped the 3am session.
For DS#1, I pumped for 10mos and switched to whole milk at 11mos.
For DS#2, I've been EP since he was 10wks and he's 10mos old today. I now pump 3x a day for him (6am, 2:30pm, and 9:30pm) and hope to transition to 2x/day soon, as we transition him onto whole milk.
HTH.

Wow 3 times /day thats great. How long is your session? When did you start that? I'm pumping about every 3- 4 hours but DS is only 7 weeks.

The LC told me that as long as you are producing enough milk, you don't have to.

That's good to know. I guess I'm producing enough. I don't have a huge freezer stash but I'm more than keeping up with him.
