Pumping while also nursing

Cierra

Hi mamas! So from the time I was in the hospital the Lc had me pumping 4 times a day because I have to use a nipple shield. Well I have a TON of milk. My baby is two weeks tomorrow and my freezer is absolutely stuffed. The only thing is, my boobs are sooo full and hurt if I even go a little past my normal pumping time. I’ve already gotten clogged ducts multiple times. I like being able to stash milk for when I go back to work, but I’m wondering if there’s an easy way to kind of wean myself off of pumping so much? Maybe down to twice a day instead? My lo is nursing like crazy so I don’t need the extra to feed him right now. Any advice would be appreciated!
