They probably didn't even know pumps existed! Did they?</p> <p>Not sure about MIL, I know my husband was not BF because he was allergic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-mommil-pump#post-197615 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:32:59 +0000 Running Elley 197615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was EBF and my mom never used a pump. She'd manually express when she was engorged. She also EBF my younger sister and my younger brother and didn't pump either of those times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-mommil-pump#post-197607 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:23:18 +0000 pelikila 197607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom pumped but only when she really needed to. She said she had to go to a wedding out of state when I was 11 months old so she diligently pumped to build a stash for the few days she would be away and when she returned I refused to go back to the breast so I self-weaned at 11 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-mommil-pump#post-197604 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:20:50 +0000 DillonLion 197604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think so.

She had a little manual one that she tried once and said it was awful, so she just stayed with us all the time. My brother and sisters and I were all EBF for about a year i think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-mommil-pump#post-197531 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:30:07 +0000 chopsuey 197531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She didn't.

I was ebf for 6 months and then got formula during the day and breastmilk at nigt </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-mommil-pump#post-197528 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:26:59 +0000 mrs. bird 197528@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my mom worked in the newborn nursery, so she pumped... a lot lol. she said when she first went back she would letdown every time the babies cried! she donated milk &amp; left milk for bottles for me or my brother. fortunately, because of where she worked, she had a hospital pump to use while she was working. neither my brother or i ever had formula. my MIL breastfed DH, but i doubt she had a pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-mommil-pump#post-197507 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:14:02 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 197507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No because both of them used formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-mommil-pump#post-197505 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 14:11:10 +0000 heffalump 197505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dh was formula fed.
