What is your magic number?
Quick answer: In EP circles, your magic number is the minimum pumps per day that holds your supply steady, a personal constant set largely by breast storage capacity. Two moms with identical output can have magic numbers of 4 and 7.
In practice
You find it empirically: drop a session, hold everything else steady, and watch a full week of totals. Steady totals mean the number is at or below the new count; a slide means you crossed it, so restore the session. Knowing your number turns schedule planning from superstition into engineering.
