She does fine now with WCM at daycare. I still have about 50-60 oz in the deep freezer that I'm holding onto just in case, since she's still a total boobmonster and has no interest in weaning. In fact, now that she's starting to talk, her first real words were "uh oh," "no," and "mek" (milk) -- which she does while making the hand sign. It's kind of adorable, she runs over to the chair where we always nurse and does the sign and yells "mek! mek! mek!" but also exhausting by the 400th time it's happened that day. I'm definitely not producing as much milk as I used to so she gets frustrated sometimes when we're together all day and she drinks me dry, but fine for our normal schedule which is morning, right after daycare, before bed, and once overnight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-pump-regularly#post-2059156 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 22:31:11 +0000 Mrs. Toad 2059156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I pump 3-4 times a week and usually get 5-6 ounces. I'm in grad school and may miss bedtime twice a week and miss from 3-8 pm once a week. My son is 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-pump-regularly#post-2059145 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 22:14:53 +0000 regberadaisy 2059145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD 2 is 5.5m and I pump 12-13 ounces at work total. I've only got probably an extra 30 some odd ounces in the freezer. </p> <p>With DD 1 I stopped pumping at 13m because I was only getting an ounce each session. Didn't seem worth it so we introduced cows milk for when she's at daycare. Then nursed on demand when I was with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-pump-regularly#post-2059140 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 22:09:17 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2059140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almost 11 months. I do a quick pump after his first feed and another quick one right after he goes to bed. This gives me enough for his bedtime bottle that DH gives him. We've always done this and he's a great sleeper so I think it works well. </p> <p>I plan to stop on his first birthday and wean him slowly from there all together. My goal was 6 months and then I challenged myself to make it to 1 year even though BFing really isn't my fave thing. I only get 3-4 ounces per session now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-pump-regularly#post-2059064 Sat, 07 Feb 2015 20:48:10 +0000 matador84 2059064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is about to turn 1 and no signs of weaning in sight. I still pump 8-10 oz daily at work and probably have 100 or more oz in our freezer. My plan is to pump until I"m done with work for the summer in June, and then maybe wean by the time I go back in August.</p> <p>How old is your LO and how much do you pump? </p>
