keep going or quit?
I’m 4.5 months pp & exclusively pump. For the first 2ish months, I had a large oversupply but once 3 months hit, my supply took a dip and I’m getting about half of what I used to get. That’s been defeating for me but also lately I’m having a hard time finding the time to be able to pump more than 4-5x per day. Should I keep pumping or let my supply continue to decrease and switch to formula once my freezer stash is gone (which is enough for maybe a month or so). What would you do?? 💕

@Megan that is a good idea! thank you 🥰
So it’s 100% up to you I exclusively pumped till my son was about 7 months old. I had trouble finding the time my supply would go back and forth and I was exhausted. It was a struggle to stop pumping but personally I feel sooooo much better and I’m happier now that I don’t pump anymore just because I have more time to focus on my son and my well being. It’s definitely up to you. I know a lot of ppl say make it to the 4-6 months at least for breast milk but personally it’s all up to the mom and whatever position she is in and what is best for her.

Personally id push through another half month and then use your stash. That will get you to 6 months and then you will be introducing some solids and can switch to formula for the milk feedings
