I guess I'll try dropping it this week and see what happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stop-pumping-now#post-900080 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 22:08:19 +0000 katsupgirl 900080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jennylynn: You've been doing it a long time! Drop that work session already! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stop-pumping-now#post-900032 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 21:36:38 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 900032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're tired of it, then I say drop it. Your body will adjust to the change and stop producing milk at the time you usually pump. Congrats on making it so long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stop-pumping-now#post-899998 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 21:12:57 +0000 sarac 899998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You have my Official Permission to stop pumping. </p> <p>I'm joking, clearly, but it sounds like you're putting out a lot of work for very little pumped milk. And your daughter is a toddler now, she should be ok with one ounce of breastmilk a day less. I applaud you for doing it for so long, and I think you ought to give yourself permission to be done with the hassle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stop-pumping-now#post-899862 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 20:02:17 +0000 jennylynn 899862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katsupgirl she's 15 months :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stop-pumping-now#post-899735 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 18:54:38 +0000 katsupgirl 899735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It doesn't seem like it's worth the trouble to keep pumping. How old is your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-stop-pumping-now#post-899551 Mon, 01 Jul 2013 17:08:23 +0000 jennylynn 899551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I work 3 days a week (12 hour shifts) and am down to pumping at work only once at 7 pm. I nurse at 8 am every morning, and on the days I home, I nurse at 7 pm. I don't get much at all when I pump at 7 (*maybe* one ounce from both breasts combined), so is it possible to stop pumping all together and still continue to BF at 8a and 7p on the days I am home? Thanks! :heart: </p>
