My breastfeeding guru (read: peer supporter at support group lol) advises that your boobs will quickly learn the days of the week and will adjust to keep supply more chill on your work days whilst leaving enough to feed on demand on your days off. Of course this is only true if you work regular days each week! Hand expressing is def the ideal way to go, but if you need to pump to take the edge off just go for as little as poss to regain comfort and aim to reduce the time you pump every day by 1/2 mins. Your body will catch up really quickly, usually within a few days 🤞
Thank you both! Fingers crossed my body gets the memo pretty quickly🤞🏼
Boobs are so good at regulating so just hand express like you said when you need some relief. It will be uncomfortable for a little while but give it 2-3 days and your supply should adjust to the new routine ☺️
