With weening is managing engorgement inevitable?

Trying to ween down pumps (just stretching one overnight pump from 4 hours to 6)… I’ve had one bad clog that resolved after a 5-6 hour stretch, and have one that’s painless currently. Other than these two, the last week has been okay with 5-6 hour stretches.

Is weening down inevitably going cause engorgement / light clogs and it’s just about managing them?

I started my pumping journey when I wasn’t supplying enough to EBF and had to triple feed. I was pumping less than 8oz per day. I tried EVERYTHING, then i just gave up on supply and combo fed. I thought I started to get more, so I started tracking… And it’s been steadily going up since. I haven’t done anything? In fact, I’ve started a calorie deficit, take allergy meds, and 🤷‍♀️ My goal was to make it to 12w pp, but baby is 10w now. I want to quit, but also not if it’s increasing?

It’s such a love hate!!!
