Weaning - Hard boob!

Bessy • I have no idea what I’m doing…

Hello! I’ve been weaning from the pump for about a month now. I started the month pumping every 3hrs for 20min, then I would extend the time between pumps by 15min and shorten the length of each pump by 2min every 2-3 days. I’m down to pumping every 6.5hrs for 7min.

I woke up this morning with my boobs not as hard as other days and it’s tolerable. The other days they were hard and hurt so I pumped for comfort. It’s only my right boob that’s a little hard on the side right now. I’m wondering if I should pump until it softens or if I should let it be. It doesn’t hurt when I touch it and it’s just hard. It’s been 9.5 hours since my last pump. I also took a Sudafed last night. What do you guys think? Should I pump or let it be?
