I really hate it and have no real reasoned do it, so I don't :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-500677 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 18:09:24 +0000 sarac 500677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped for a few months to build up a beautiful 150oz stash. Literally she never drank a drop of it. I just rarely left her for more than a few hours. She wouldn't take a bottle. The first time I had to leave her all day she was 11 months and didn't need it. I donated the whole stash and probably won't bother later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-500642 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 17:35:42 +0000 prettylizy 500642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't remember the last time I broke out my pump. After I discovered milkies I was able to get about 60oz or so in the freezer 'just in case'. She almost never takes a bottle and in a couple of months won't need them anyway (she's 10 months old now). Good thing I bought that $400 double electric pums :S </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-500626 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 17:21:15 +0000 Beebug 500626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped to a 40 oz stash, but haven't since before Christmas probably! Only pump by hand when I do once a week or so, and currently struggling with ebf'ing, lol. I don't go back to work until October and don't have longterm ebf goals, so pumping not necessary at all, though funny I thought it would be earlier after C was born! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-500478 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 15:41:49 +0000 sera_87 500478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not ebf, but I don't bother with pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499917 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 05:12:47 +0000 LaineysMom 499917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pumping is such a pain.. but it came in handy when I got really sick and my supply dipped really low for a few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499856 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 03:28:40 +0000 pinkcupcake 499856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped for the first six months - first to increase my supply, then b/c I went back to work. I quit working to be a SAHM when LO was six months old and haven't pumped since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499854 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 03:02:50 +0000 MsMini 499854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped once per day for the first month or so because I wanted an emergency stash, and I was overproducing so much and first thing in the morning I was super engorged. I pump occasionally now if he doesn't nurse, or my supply is dipping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499853 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 02:55:32 +0000 Bao 499853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a small freezer stash, but haven't pumped in over a month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499840 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 02:17:46 +0000 lovehoneybee 499840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump maybe twice a week, when he's asleep and probably won't be waking up soon and I'm engorged. I have maybe like 48oz frozen. I mostly use it so I'll have a bottle when we're on the road and I can't BF. My ILs have a couple bags at their house as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499833 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 02:11:52 +0000 Penny Lane 499833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haaaaaate pumping, so I only do it when I'm super uncomfortable in the mornings, or if he takes a bottle while I'm out. Other than that, it's all straight from the source! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499830 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 02:09:28 +0000 chopsuey 499830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pumped for 2 months with dd.<br /> will probably pump a year with ds </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499812 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 01:23:00 +0000 cyndistar3 499812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only pumped for a little while to make her baby cereal and what not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499809 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 01:17:02 +0000 iheartleopardprint 499809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am still on maternity leave and DD is 4 months old. I have never ever pumped with her. With DS I pumped a few times. A breast pump was the biggest waste of money for me! To me there is no point pumping, if I miss a feed I am engorged and I simply love breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499793 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:57:00 +0000 X0X0X0 499793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm also a SAHM that's EBF my 7 month old. I was renting a pump that i occasionally used up until DD refused to drink from a bottle, at around 2 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499781 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:37:50 +0000 HLK208 499781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't in a few months...I probably should for an emergency stash but she is always with me! I never leave her with anyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499766 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:14:11 +0000 runsyellowlites 499766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loath pumping so RARELY do... I think I've pumped maybe 60 ounces in the last 9 months.</p> <p>Sadly, we have a trip planned in April, right before P's first bday, where we'll be gone for 2 days so I'll have to get to pumping here soon so she'll have milk while we're gone AND I'll have to pump while we're gone. Blegh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-not-pumping#post-499758 Sat, 12 Jan 2013 00:07:57 +0000 Kemma 499758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an EBF mama and I sometimes feel like the only person on HelloBee not pumping!</p> <p> I'm a SAHM so at this stage I don't really have a need to pump (and LO has never tried a bottle anyway) but are there any other EBF'ers not pumping out there? </p>
