Sad, but imagine putting your pump and pump parts away for good...?!?!? Ahhh!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-quit-pumping#post-475488 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:46:14 +0000 Mrs. Bee 475488@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: she nurses to feed and would comfort nurse if i let her. i guess if i let my milk dry up it will help wean her. i just don't want her to be walking around and asking for it. she pulls my shirt up right now as it is, but since she's still crawling she seems like a baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-quit-pumping#post-475481 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:41:52 +0000 T.H.O.U. 475481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would! It also might help with cutting out a few sessions on the weekends if your supple dips a little bit. I know I can now tell my 16 month old that its all gone right now and she understands because there really is no milk there in the middle of the day if she has already nursed in the morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-quit-pumping#post-475460 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:34:14 +0000 Bao 475460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say only if you are comfortable with it. Make sure you are ready, weigh the pros and cons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-quit-pumping#post-475456 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:32:54 +0000 Rubies 475456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Simple answer: If you want to! :)<br /> I fully weaned LO at 14 months because I couldn't handle the stress of being back at work, getting her up and ready for daycare, etc. And it was fine! I stopped pumping ages before that.</p> <p>During the weekends, does she nurse to feed (is she satiated afterwards?) or is she comfort nursing? </p> <p>My friend's LO is almost 18 months and she's still nursing her 2x/day. Entirely up to you! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-quit-pumping#post-475441 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 13:28:49 +0000 Mrs. Bee 475441@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Olive turns 15 months old this week, and I'm still pumping once a day, which only produces like 4-5 ounces. It's not enough for her daytime intake, so we've been going through my freezer stash for a while. The stash will run out in about 2 weeks.</p> <p>Olive sleeps through the night now, so the only times I'd nurse her would be in the morning and at night on weekdays. On weekends she still nurses 6x a day total and doesn't want to reduce!</p> <p>I think I really have to start thinking about slowly weaning her because she is such a nursing addict. I guess it's just hard to quit pumping because I'm making milk.</p> <p>Do you think I should quit pumping? </p>
