Breastfeeding

Yield more than usual

Is it weird that I yield more when I pump 5-6 hourly? I pump every 3 hours (I don't pump at night and will latch once or twice) but since yesterday I was busy running errands and only got to pump after I got home, like 6 hrs later and surprised that I yield more than my usual. But the downside is my left is always very full and engorged. I will pump until I feel like I've cleared especially on that side although there's still lumps but not painful. Anyone else like me? Should I continue doing so?

Yielding more due to missed pump is expected. The first few times will cause engorgement. But try not to miss often as ur body will think tt demand decreases so it will eventually reduce. Rmbr ur body gets cue from ur pumping so the more u pump, the more it will produce milk. But if frequency of pumping or bf-ing decreases, ur body wont get the signal to produce milk at the usual timing tt u used to pump.
