But I don't loathe pumping as much as others do. It is just an annoyance. The thing that really broke my soul down was having a kid who hated breastfeeding. Glad that's over! And I'll pump exclusively instead until she turns one :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/counting-down-to-quitting#post-975413 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:59:04 +0000 LulaBee 975413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ooh! my LO turns 1 on Thursday :sad: and I'm down to one pump a day this week. I am not planning on pumping at all after Friday, and I'm SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/counting-down-to-quitting#post-975376 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:49:03 +0000 MsLipGloss 975376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mewtill: Formula. I have always struggled with supply (since I returned to work at 12 weeks pp), but as I gradually dropped pumping sessions, I increased the formula. Now that LO is also eating some solids/purees, she has pretty much topped out at 3 5-5.5oz bottles during the day (sometimes she finishes them all, and sometimes she doesn't). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/counting-down-to-quitting#post-975361 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:45:35 +0000 pl0508 975361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 6 mo away from this but am down to 3 pumps a day!!!

I'm so close I can taste it!!!</p> <p>@MsLipGloss: Are you giving formula? Or did you start whole milk early? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/counting-down-to-quitting#post-975326 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:38:10 +0000 MsLipGloss 975326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! I am done now, at almost 11 months . . . 5 days a week was just too much and something had to give. I still nurse at night/early morning (or on demand on weekends), but I feel SO much more like me! I felt/sometimes still feel a little guilty (*shakesfist* damn you mom guilt!), but I know I made the right choice for me. I am excited for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/counting-down-to-quitting#post-975320 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:36:55 +0000 SleepyMonkey 975320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! I (mostly) love bf-ing but pumping is truly annoying. Cannot wait to store the medela away forever! Or at least until baby #2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/counting-down-to-quitting#post-975300 Tue, 30 Jul 2013 11:33:02 +0000 mrsjyw 975300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i HATE pumping.</p> <p>i only do it 2x a day 2-3 days/wk... and i STILL.DETEST.IT.EVERY.TIME.</p> <p>i plan on quitting pumping when DS turns one in Nov. </p> <p>less than 4 months... hUZZZZZZZZZZZAh.</p> <p>anyone with me? :D </p>
