Hey Mums!!! I hope your all doing well
I’m exclusively pumping and need some thoughts and suggestions…
I started pumping since I guess she was about 2 weeks old and presently is a little over 3 months old.
I have a teeny tiny bit of oversupply. I started logging my stash since 21st may and so far till date I have about 31,440ml. I want to stop pumping and I have nipple damage from birth and it’s just too much for me. I want to enjoy my baby and life and live a little while doing it. My plan is to pump till she is 6months old. And then feed her with my stash till she is about 9months-1 year.
My question is how much milk do they need daily from 6 months old? I know they start solids and all but idk how much I need to save to stop at 6 months but still give her milk till she is 1 year old.
Right now what I do is take out my earliest freezer stash( presently before 21st of may) and use that so that it doesn’t expire and then bag the milk that I currently express..

I have the spectra s1plus and I get a decent amount. I pump 6 times a day and I make about 6-8 ounces per session(is that good?). The bottles for the spectra are annoying and get in my way a lot.so I ordered some universal cups that can be used on variable pumps. Will I get the same output when I use them with my spectra ? Any one and the same field? For context I’m 8 weeks pp!!

I use the spectra s1 plus and when I massage while pumping I feel like I get emptied okay. I usually get about 200-250 ml per session. I use either the Momcozy s12pro or mamabump for wearable and I usually get the same output. Today I bought the Momcozy v1 pro and tried it out and only got 150?? I tried it on for the last pump of the night but I usually get 200ml. Why? I even used it for 10 min more than my usual. After pumping with the Momcozy v1 pros I used the spectra and got nearly 100ml in less than 10 min. Why is that? Does anyone else have an issue with the v1 pros? Did I just use it wrong? I need advice and help.

FYI I got the v1 pros cause I’m going on a road trip and I really can’t use my spectra. I thought the v1 pros would be good cause there hospital grade: any suggestions for using them is appreciated
