In August he'll be back at daycare 5 days a week and he's been currently refusing the bottle (he goes 2 days right now). She told me not to be surprised if he only wants solids at daycare and nurses like crazy when we're together. As long as he's got wet diapers and is gaining weight, he's fine drinking less while I'm at work.</p> <p>So if your freezer stash doesn't last, you may not need formula if you're okay with extra nursing in the evening! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-give-up-1#post-890500 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:45:38 +0000 LaineysMom 890500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: congrats on making it to 10 mo! If you start weaning from the pump now, you'll still be producing.. Then after your vacay LO will be 11 months. If you need to buy 1 can of formula, or transition to whole milk everything will be fine. Congrats on almost being done! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-give-up-1#post-890435 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:27:15 +0000 DillonLion 890435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome job on pumping for this long! What about dropping down to just pumping 1x a day (maybe in the morning) and skipping the afternoon one? Maybe that will get you through the next three weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-give-up-1#post-890358 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 16:08:38 +0000 yellowbird 890358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!!!</p> <p>Im not sure the exact amount of my freezer stash, what if it doesnt last all the way to a year?? I was thinking about introducing whole milk around 11.5 months by mixing with her bm bottles. Ill still continue to nurse morning and night until she doesnt want to anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-give-up-1#post-890173 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:23:18 +0000 cmomma17 890173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 months is awesome, you should be really really proud of yourself! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-give-up-1#post-890157 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:21:02 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 890157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What is 3 weeks really? 10 months is great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-give-up-1#post-890151 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:19:38 +0000 CarrieLouWho 890151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree - you've done an awesome job getting to 10 months, save your sanity! Start weaning from the pump now. </p> <p>I am right at 9 months and I've given up pumping for the most part and am just bf in the morning &amp; night and sending frozen bm + 1 bottle of formula to school. Best of both worlds and less stress on me!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-give-up-1#post-890067 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 15:02:24 +0000 rrachael 890067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Happy mom = happy baby! You should be proud of how long you've made it! Pumping is hard work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-give-up-1#post-890055 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 14:59:56 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 890055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would. If you're already that tired of it, the next 3 weeks are going to wear on you even more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-give-up-1#post-890049 Thu, 27 Jun 2013 14:58:03 +0000 yellowbird 890049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO will be 10 months on Monday, and im finding it increasingly more difficult to continue pumping. </p> <p>She has been ebf + solids the whole time and we have never had to introduce formula. My supply has been dropping for a while and currently im pumping two times a day and nursing her at lunch. I get about 8 oz from pumping and she eats about 12-16 in her bottles while im gone 4 days a week.</p> <p>We're going on vacation july 22 and ill exclusively nurse her while were gone (+solids of course. ) </p> <p>I was planning on not pumping any more after that and using my frozen supply to cover her during the day til she's one. I just dont know if I can make it three more weeks. Its so cumbersome and im just ready to be done. </p> <p>I feel like giving it up now.. ughhh I hate it! </p>
