Mine is like other PPs, I hate this so much so I must love you a TON! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711620 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:12:43 +0000 LuLu Mom 711620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was pumping all I could think of was "I love this baby enough to do this every 3 hours." It was not something I enjoyed doing, and stuck it out as long as I could for the health of my baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711604 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:08:56 +0000 shopaholic 711604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I kinda get that overwhelming want to cry emotion and swell of love with almost every let down. More so with social nursing, but during pumping I think about how crazy I can nourish her and hope to get more milk for her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711587 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:03:23 +0000 mrskc 711587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. I think it's because I watch videos of him and then just feel this overwhelming feeling that I love him so much. Then I start missing him like crazy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711578 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:02:06 +0000 MsLipGloss 711578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Every session is like this for me! I try not to get excited about 1 good session because I know the next one is likely to be crappy. And by *good* I mean 5.5oz . . . which is the most I have pumped in one session over the last 4 months (it's usually much closer to 4-4.5). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711574 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:01:39 +0000 DillonLion 711574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I certainly don't love the act or all the extra work involved, but I always get emotional about LO when I am getting set up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711571 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 13:00:35 +0000 MsLipGloss 711571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: I'm glad it's good for somebody! Gives me hope that if we do have another LO that I could love it the next go round. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711566 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:59:19 +0000 DillonLion 711566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: @MsLipGloss: Haha alright, must just be me then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711564 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:59:01 +0000 DillonLion 711564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Oh my gosh, I'm sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711561 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:58:33 +0000 MamaMoose 711561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah pumping doesn't give me super happy feelings. Someone here posted about something called D-MER, Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex and after reading about it I determined I definitely have it. I get an uncomfortable/unhappy feeling with let down and it's much more pronounced when I pump than when I nurse. And I often spend my pumping session stressing about how much milk I'm going to get and if it's going to be enough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711559 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:58:13 +0000 MsLipGloss 711559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: Ditto! I loathe pumping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711548 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:55:08 +0000 mediagirl 711548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is more of...if I didn't love you so much and love the snuggles we get when you nurse, I would have stopped this a loooooooooooooong time ago, kiddo!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-pumping-make-you-think-about-how-much-you-love-your-baby#post-711534 Fri, 12 Apr 2013 12:51:39 +0000 DillonLion 711534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost everytime I pump at work I get this overwhelming swell of motions related to how much I love my baby. I'm sure that is just nature/science, but I like it :) </p>
