I started weaning last weekend - I am down to 4x a day from 5 and it makes such a huge difference! Having to pump only twice during the day while she's awake instead of 3 times (and 4-5 hours apart instead of 3+) makes such an amazing difference in my day. I think I might have been less resentful of this whole thing overall with 4 instead of 5.
Supply has dropped a little bit but not much and I am slowly decreasing the time, especially with the two middle of the day pumps. I am concerned about dropping another though as that will mean going to only 3 and each one 8 hours apart. Right now the only time I go that long is at night and then I don't notice it because I'm not awake! The plan is to do that this weekend but I think I might need more time of dropping down the middle of the day pumps before I can do that. I'm focused mostly on dropping time off the 10am one so that I can make it to 1pm.
So far I'm still adding to the freezer stash and have nearly 2000 ounces! The freezer in the garage has three full shelves and I may need to use the bottom one as well.
