weaning from the pump

I have dropped session gradually over the course of two months. I am now down to one session a day and get by feeling good with about 7 minutes on my pump.
Yesterday I did not pump at all but today I am feeling it. It's getting a tad 'lumpy' and sore.

Do I just stick it out from here on out?

Re: weaning from the pump

if you are trying to stop all together then i would suggest cold cabbage leaves for the pain... when i stopped eping with ds i walked around like coleslaw for a few days...

also once i was down to one pump a day i switched to hand expression of just enough milk to to make me comfortable... so instead of pumping once a day i would just hand suppress 3 or 4 times a day just enough to relieve the pressure
