Hi mummies, my yield per session is about 100-150ml, am i considered as an oversupply as long my supply was more than demand? My bub is only taking 90ml in IFC. Currently I pumped about 5 times a day, 2 times at home and 3 times at work. My bub is 4mths 2 wks old, i felt like reducing some pump session. Normally when baby starts solid, milk intake will decrease? this is my avg. wkday schedule: 6am - pump 1 side @ 20mins, the other side 10mins 6.40am - latch on the side that only pumped 10mins 10am - pump both sides 20mins 1pm - pump both sides 20mins 4pm - pump both sides 20mins 7.30pm-10pm - latch on demand (abt 3 times before bub goes to bed) 12am - pump both sides 20mins Appreciate any inputs! Tia.

Hi, In my opinion, you are consider an oversupply. Because your baby is only taking 90ml, most of the time direct latch. Means one day you will need to store up ~500ml. For me, it is a lot. You can reduce the pump session slowly to let your body adapt to the changes. The 12am can reduce because your baby last latching is 10pm. At least you can have an early sleep.

Hello Mummy Grace, normally baby only latch 1 side per feeding. eg.8pm on left side, 9.30pm right side. i will pump both side before bed, about 12am so that i will not be too engorged till i wake up at 5.50am.

Try using a haakaa on the other side when baby latches on one?
