Gradual Pumping Weaning: A Guide For Breastfeeding Mothers

Weaning from pumping involves gradually reducing the frequency and duration of pumping sessions to eventually stop producing breast milk. To initiate weaning, gradually reduce pumping sessions by 10-15 minutes every 2-3 days. Avoid skipping sessions abruptly, as this can lead to engorgement and discomfort. Monitor milk supply and infant’s nutritional needs, and adjust weaning pace accordingly. Support from family, healthcare professionals, and support groups can aid in the emotional transition of weaning.
