LO is almost 9.5 months and I'd like to be phasing out pumping through her 11th month and done by a year, even though we'll hopefully keep nursing when we're together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1486451 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 11:49:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 1486451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know it's not for everyone, but I never minded pumping and I dreaded the double transition (bm to formula to cows milk) so I EPed until LMW turned one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1486294 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 11:01:24 +0000 cmomma17 1486294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One month and one week to go! :shocked: I totally don't have a plan right now though and have no clue how to go about weaning! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1486289 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 10:59:24 +0000 Punky 1486289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finished 5 days ago, I just couldn't hang. My original goal was only 6 weeks anyway, I made it 8. Those of you doing this forever are awesome and congrats! The freedom from the pump is amazing though! I didn't realize how much I didn't like it until I stopped completely. I was pumping every 3 hours and I hated having to wake up to pump in order to keep my supply up. I have about 3 weeks worth in the freezer still though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1478983 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 15:24:15 +0000 Corduroy 1478983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any day now. Like today maybe. I'm getting nothing (thanks, period!), LO is already one. I'm just waiting one week to introduce milk. But I'm on the fence about WCM anyway - so I really don't know what I'm waiting for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1478937 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 15:08:46 +0000 maybebaby 1478937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JoJoGirl: hey! I like the idea of thinking weeks instead if months. </p> <p>12 weeks.<br /> Holy shit 12 weeks until I have a 1 y/o??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1478885 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:53:37 +0000 cmomma17 1478885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I have less than 2 months to go! eek! LO turns 1 on April 18 and we go out of town for a few days on April 28th. Hopefully weaning is easy? The thought stresses me out ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1478881 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:53:20 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1478881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So jealous of those of you done so soon! I've got 3 months left to make it to my goal of a year....I EP so it's been a LONG 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1478873 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:51:35 +0000 avivoca 1478873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Seven months. WAHHHH. My freezer stash is pitifully small, so I pretty much have to pump. I guess it's okay. It's a nice break in my day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1478857 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:47:25 +0000 pmerr 1478857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm half way done pumping! I'm at 6months, so I'm hoping to get enough food to get him to 1 year. I hope I can build up my stash enough to end early, but at this point that's not happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1478842 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:43:59 +0000 mizjl 1478842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>EPer over here and DD is 8mo tomorrow. I'm still doing 2ppd and making enough, with thousands of ounces in the freezer so I'm actually thinking of dropping another pump and have her start going through the frozen stash, which should last until she's a year old (well, I hope). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474778 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:40:14 +0000 jetsa 1474778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 5.5 months so I've got 28 weeks left, haha I just set up the pump and was thinking about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474760 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:37:50 +0000 MrsLilybugg 1474760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm soooooooooooooo sick of pumping at work too! LO is 7 months. I'll keep pumping though until she quits nursing, cause I love that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474751 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:36:31 +0000 lawbee11 1474751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sunny: Ahh I'm jealous!!</p> <p>All you ladies are awesome :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474715 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:27:55 +0000 Pirouette 1474715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow, you guys are awesome! i'm hoping to make it to 6 months, but that seems really far away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474690 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:24:39 +0000 Charm54 1474690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I EP and am one week away from making my 6month goal. After that I'll just take it week by week and quit when I get too sick of it!</p> <p>I thought I was done a few weeks ago when I got the flu but my supply magically came back...bittersweet , haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474671 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:21:34 +0000 AmandaB8 1474671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>uhh 10 months.

Maybe next month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474644 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:18:11 +0000 Alivoo01 1474644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope to quit pumping in 3.5 months???? DS is 7.5 months and I have ~700oz in my freezer stash so I'm hoping I can quit pumping when he's about 11 months to start introducing him to WCM mixed with my freezer stash. It'll be nice to wear shirts that I don't have to think twice about if they're nursing friendly or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474637 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:17:40 +0000 sunny 1474637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In less than a week!!!! :-) I can't believe I'm still pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474596 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:12:38 +0000 heartonastring 1474596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think just a couple weeks...eek! I'm SAH at the moment, but DH does bedtime and gives dd 5 oz of pumped milk. So I only pump 2x/day. I currently have 225oz in the freezer, which is enough for six weeks and will take us to her birthday. OMG. I can't believe we've come this far! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474572 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:09:32 +0000 katsupgirl 1474572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think in a month maybe. She'll be --yikes-- 18 months. I only pump at work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474571 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:08:59 +0000 JoJoGirl 1474571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 WEEKS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pumpers-how-much-longer-til-you-plan-to-quit#post-1474561 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 15:07:50 +0000 lawbee11 1474561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 7 months old, so I've still got 5 months of pumping ahead of me. Wahhh that seems like an eternity! I love nursing, but pumping is a PITA. EPers are my heroes! </p> <p>How much longer until you plan to quit? </p>
