Will my milk supply decrease if I stop a regular pumping session?

It is a common misconception that your body will automatically lose supply if you stop a specific pumping session. Your body regulates milk production based on demand; if you stop pumping at a certain time, you may feel heavy or engorged for a few days, but your supply will adjust to the new demand. If you experience painful engorgement, you can hand express just enough milk to feel comfortable rather than emptying the breast, which helps signal your body to reduce production at that time without causing an oversupply.
