I'm not sure how much milk you'll need, but would it be worth it to skip a couple of weeknight bedtime bottles to save for the weekend? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stressed-about-pumping#post-1005444 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:59:49 +0000 swedishfish 1005444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@brady80: does your LO like the swing? I generally put DD in her swing and she mostly naps but sometimes she just hangs out while I pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stressed-about-pumping#post-1005434 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:58:03 +0000 brady80 1005434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: that's helpful. The problem is I don't really have an established routine. I basically try to pump when she is asleep for her long nap, but sometime the nap doesn't happen. I guess I will try to pump twice a day this week, so Dh can continue to feed her at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stressed-about-pumping#post-1005422 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:51:37 +0000 swedishfish 1005422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to a wedding last weekend and were gone about seven hours. LO was almost six weeks old at the time and she drank a 4 oz bottle, 1.5 oz bottle and one bottle of ready to eat formula because I forgot to bring the other breast milk bottles to my parents' house. When do you pump? I pump an hour after LO's morning nursing session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stressed-about-pumping#post-1005405 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:45:52 +0000 brady80 1005405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: we will be gone for about 6 hours. I don't have anything frozen. I've basically been pumping once a day so DH can feed her a bottle at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stressed-about-pumping#post-1005401 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:44:00 +0000 swedishfish 1005401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How long will you be gone? Do you have a frozen stash? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/stressed-about-pumping#post-1005392 Fri, 09 Aug 2013 20:41:22 +0000 brady80 1005392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are going to a wedding next weekend and my parent's will be watching LO (she's 5 weeks). I have been pumping since she was two weeks, DH gives her a bottle each night. But this week she has been feeding every one-two hours as opposed to every three. I have no idea when I am going to fit in pumping sessions. Also, how much should I plan to leave with my parents? </p>
