We are still nursing once or twice a day at 14 months. I don't think my work would have been thrilled with me continuing to pump for 2 years, and I had no interest in doing so anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1417228 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:50:36 +0000 cascademom 1417228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was 8 months when we weaned. He went to formula almost immediately with some breast milk. By that point, he didn't like breast milk if it wasn't off of the boob, so I dumped a couple of bags I had stored. My boobs got the message quick and no longer pumping was easy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1417223 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:48:45 +0000 lavender 1417223@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 9 months- I was only able to pump 1x per day and by then I was only getting 1-2 oz and it wasn't worth it for me anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1417210 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:45:32 +0000 septca 1417210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, you are kind of my hero. :silly: </p> <p>I hated pumping every single day, so I started dropping one pump a week (I was doing 3) at 11 months. When I was down to one pump, I was barely getting anything, so I stopped completely. That was at 11.5 months. I had enough BM in my freezer to last DD until she was 1 yo.</p> <p>I only nurse at wake up and bedtime now, and my supply is just fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1417189 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 09:39:37 +0000 mrsjyw 1417189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11.5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1417014 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:39:15 +0000 purrpletulips 1417014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped at 13m with DS because although I liked the quiet breaks during the day I hated pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1417002 Wed, 12 Feb 2014 08:34:14 +0000 regberadaisy 1417002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@katsupgirl: wow! Amazing, great job!</p> <p>I stopped around 13 months but my output was never great.

But I was able to continue nursing morning and night until about 20 months without a problem with supply. </p> <p>I felt like I had so much more free time and flexibility at work when I stopped pumping. I didn't have to keep time mentally blocked off every time I scheduled anything and could wander around or whatever without having to watch the clock. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416630 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 23:12:26 +0000 ninja 1416630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO was 10 months. I had enough milk in the freezer to last him a year, so I ditched the pump! I didn't enjoy pumping, so I was glad to be done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416622 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 23:09:53 +0000 workingmom 1416622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>About a year both times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416506 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 22:19:51 +0000 dolphin 1416506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12 months. I was soooo ready to be done with the pump! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416505 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 22:18:25 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1416505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was 14-15 months? He was beginning to wean, fully weaned by 16 months. I did like the extra breaks it allowed for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416502 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 22:17:11 +0000 maybebaby 1416502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: you've done such an amazing job! i am so proud of you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416482 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 22:04:11 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1416482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>13 months. </p> <p>I had plenty of supply to keep up with mroning/night nursing, but on the weekends she still wanted to nurse on demand. So we just weaned. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416480 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 22:02:35 +0000 Sparkler 1416480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 11 months and I'm, as of this week, down to pumping once. My LO only wants to nurse overnight and hardly ever takes more than 3 oz bottles, during the day, so I feel like I'm just wasting the milk anyway... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416371 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 21:07:59 +0000 JoJoGirl 1416371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I am SO EXCITED to stop. LO is 9 months and I still pump 4x/day - 3x at work and once at home. It's awful but I need to keep up with it, we still aren't supplementing and my freezer stash is down to like 6 bags. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416289 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 20:25:41 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1416289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>12-13 months. My supply tanked when I dropped to just once during the work day. I weaned shortly after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416151 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:28:01 +0000 yerpie110 1416151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>11 months. There was enough in my stash left to hold her until she turned one, plus we were transitioning to WCM so she needed less and less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416144 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:26:06 +0000 cmomma17 1416144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm still going (twice a day) at almost 10 months. I don't want to stop nursing LO but I am really over pumping! Losing that productive time at work has been really difficult and I'm behind on so many things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416136 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 19:22:40 +0000 yellowbird 1416136@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>almost 11 months. By that point I was only pumping 1X a day and getting maybe 4oz? I was so done.</p> <p>eta: I still nursed morning and night til 14.5 months with no noticeable difference in supply. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416084 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 18:55:23 +0000 dojo 1416084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to stop when LO turns 1 (in 9 days... I am counting down!) I hate pumping! I am hoping that my supply will adjust so that I can still nurse in the mornings/night for awhile though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416074 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 18:49:05 +0000 Den mom 1416074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking 12 months, but now that LO is 10.5 months I may go longer. I will definitely miss my breaks from work when I do stop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416035 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 18:28:41 +0000 autumnlove 1416035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8.5 months. My supply tanked after I got pregnant.</p> <p>I still pump at work and LO 2 is 9.5 months old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-old-was-lo-when-you-stopped-pumping-at-work#post-1416010 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 18:16:56 +0000 katsupgirl 1416010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 16 months and I think I'm addicted to pumping at work. I like the quiet time and now that she eats more foods I'm not stressed about quantity so much. I'm thinking I would go down to one pump at 18 months then stop at 2 years.</p> <p>I'm also kind of nervous about my supply tanking.</p> <p>How old was your LO when you stopped pumping at work? Any noticeable supply drop? </p>
