Any advice for managing oversupply? I pumped for 2 days twice a day so dad can feed him as well, but now I think I triggered an abnormal pattern and my breasts are engorged. I have no problem with stopping pumping, I just want to have them regulate and hopefully I since I can stop pumping early enouh, it won't be as hard to go back to normal. Thanks in advanced! 😊

You should slow down pumping unless your building a stash or missed a feeding. Your supply will eventually regulate to what baby needs

Answer

This is why most women are told to avoid pumping until after 6 weeks when the milk supply regulates. I've had oversupply twice and it can be hard to deal with. Just cut back on the pumping. If you pump twice a day, just go down to once for a few days and then go down to none. Don't stop all together immediately or you can end up with mastitis etc.

I was that way but take it as a blessing stopping can completely drop it
