Growth Spurt = Engorgement

Is it okay for me to pump out all this milk?! Or is it only going to lead to more supply? I definitely don't need more......

If you need to pump, just pump enough to ease the pain, no more than that! Pumping will tell your body to make more milk....

Okay thanks! So I shouldn't empty out the breast then with pumping?

No, definitely don't empty the breast as your body will think baby has a feed then and make more. Literally just pump enough so that you are not sore,no more. If you think you can get away without pumping then don't and your body will not produce as much.
