Help me quit pumping!

G turns one next month and we're leaving for the beach in about 3 weeks. The pump is not coming with (though I'll probably take my manual jic). How do I start weaning off the pump?

My current pump schedule:
6:30 - nurse (he usually only eats on one side)
8:30 - pump
11:30 - nurse (sometimes he doesn't eat well and I won't pump either). Note that when he switches rooms next week I'll no longer go to nurse him at lunch)
3:30 - pump
5:30 - nurse
7:30 - nurse

I'm pumping between 4 and 10 oz a day right now. I usually get the most at my 8:30 pump. I feel like my pumps are so spread out that I'm asking for trouble to go so long between them. I've had mastitis once and don't want to go there again, esp on vaca.

When he moves up rooms I would do this-
Morning- nurse one side
Noon- pump other side
530, nurse first side
730, nurse other side.

If you do that for a week or two until you regulate it should be pretty easy to skip that pump during your vacation.

zara covered it, but i would just pump once around lunchtime once he moves rooms. then i'd prob go cold turkey after a week or 2 of that.
