Also - if you can get a portable pump through insurance, it's worth it. Handsfree bras also mean that you can pump at meal times or while reading to LO1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eping-with-2-or-more-kids#post-2311747 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 12:21:45 +0000 charlotte 2311747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickles: I was for the last 3 weeks but am switching to formula now due to allergies. It's definitely tough. I missed some scheduled pumps or had to push them back from time to time. I tried to schedule them around LO1s nap and bedtime etc and allowed more TV than usual....and also used my manual pump from time to time so I could walk around the house. I don't think my methods were great though so hopefully someone has other tips.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/eping-with-2-or-more-kids#post-2311705 Tue, 06 Oct 2015 11:24:07 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2311705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been back at work for almost 2 months now and DS 2 is starting to refuse to nurse. DS1 did the same thing, bottles are just easier!! </p> <p>So with DS 1 I EP'd until 6 mo when my supply crashed and we switched to formula. </p> <p>I'm wondering if anyone EP's with two kiddos? How do you handle it on the weekends when you are with the kids? At work I can pump easily but at home it's such a mess with a toddler and baby!! </p>
