Am I expressing too much

[MJP1]

I am on 2nd day of stopping breastfeeding, I am hardly feeing my 6 month old as we've pretty much gone onto her nutrimegm formula and she 9/10 refuses to feed off me.
I am nervous about getting an infection so am expressing bits when I am full just wondering if these amounts seem excessive as I know production is based on a supply and demand basis ( since about 3 months have been expressing about 18 oz between each feed and giving them by bottle so I know my supply is high)

So day 1 expressed between 11pm Saturday till 10pm Sunday with 2 actual feeds inbetween 9oz expressed not in 1 go, about 4 lots of 2 oz using both breast.
Is this too much ? I get very uncomfortable and worry they will get infected but am I just being soft. I really want to stop so just want some advice really.

Thank you lovelies xx

I'm not an expert but I think this should be fine. As long as you're expressing less than you would normally feed, your boobs will adjust to this new amount over a few days, then you can reduce again after that and your boobs will adjust to that new amount. That's how it seemed to happen when DS started to feed less from me after 6 months.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable will be along soon, if not, ask for your post to be moved to the breast/bottle feeding section.
