What is the MOTN pump?
Quick answer: MOTN stands for middle-of-the-night: the 1-to-4 AM pump that EP moms both dread and defend, because overnight prolactin peaks make it disproportionately productive for building and holding supply.
In practice
Whether you can drop it is the great EP debate, and the honest answer is capacity-dependent: moms with larger storage capacity often hold totals without it, others watch output slide within a week. Test by stretching it later gradually, watching a full week of totals before judging. Sleep matters too; the MOTN pump is a tool, not a tax.
