Breast feeding question
Is it possible for me to stop pumping and switch to only breast feeding Anberlin at night before bed and in the morning when we wake up? Can I train my body to do that?? I thought it might be possible because my body is now used to not having to feed from 9pm-6am but I worry that if I switch and not feed from 6am - 8pm then I will stop producing all together. What do you guys think? I would just like to stop pumping because I am barely getting 1-6oz bottle out of me now-a-days. It is so frustrating! I tried to get a prescription for Reglan from my NP and Anberlin's Ped but they refused. Advice would be appreciated! Thanks ladies!

Since your milk is established you should not really have a problem dropping the pumping sessions, although you want to be careful when you first start dropping them because you do not want to get engourged since that can lead to plugged ducts and mastitis.
Check this out, it might help you. The person asking the question's baby was a bit older, but the women *****sponded gave good advice!

As long as you are still feeding some, you will probably keep making some milk, but your production will likely fall. Once Rowan went to only feeding in the am and before bed, it didn't take long for him to just wean himself off of me entirely.
