Pumping (esp EPing) Moms.. what's your schedule?
How old is your DC?
How many times a day do you pump?
How many hours do you go between pumps?
I'm trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel  Would love to see when pumping gets a little less demanding....

Re: Pumping (esp EPing) Moms.. what's your schedule?
I pumped 6 times a day for the first 3 months.
5X a day from 3-6 months
4X a day from 6-9 months
3X a day from 9-10 months
2X a day from 10-11 months
1X a day for the last 2 weeks.
I just finished pumping 4 days ago 
I started transitioning to whole milk at 10 months.

Re: Pumping (esp EPing) Moms.. what's your schedule?
DD will be 4 months next week. I have exclusively pumped since she was 2 weeks old, when I stopped nursing her.
Back then, I pumped religiously every 3 hours. Don’t remember when, but I slowly increased to every 4 or 5 hours….thankfully didn’t hurt my supply at all.
Now, for the last month or so, I go usually 6-7 hours between pumping.
On workdays, I pump:
5:30am
1:00pm or so (at lunch)
7:00pm or so
11:00pm or so (I have been soooo bad at falling asleep and not getting up to pump lately, I am physically fine in the morning but I fear I’m messing with my supply so I need to TRY to make myself stay awake)
ETA: I pump for 20 minutes each session.
I am getting over 40 ounces a day.

DS is 12 weeks. Been pumping for 10 weeks.
How many times a day do you pump? For the first few weeks I pumped every 3 hours. Now I pump every time he eats which is every 4 hours. I only recently stopped pumping in the middle of the night. I usually pump for about 20-25 mins and get 8-11 ounces.
How many hours do you go between pumps? Ive gone as long as 10 hours (overnight) I was fine in the morning just felt ready to explode. On his Christening day I went from 12-7:30.

Re: Pumping (esp EPing) Moms.. what's your schedule?
