I did it for 4 more months until we weaned. Life was so exhausting then that's it's a giant blur between pumping, sleepless nights, counseling, and clients I don't know how I survived it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318753 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 23:32:45 +0000 BeachMama 1318753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hated it form the first time I ever pumped. But I finally stopped when DD was about 7 months. I had returned to work and couldn't pump enough for her, so we were giving formula anyway. I hated pumping at work so I stopped and we went to formula til she turned 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318543 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 21:13:26 +0000 MamaChin 1318543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my supply took a plunge after AF came back at 7 months. I was EBFing but then had to add pumping sessions after every nursing session plus one more before bed. I didn't even mind pumping that much when I was working cuz I didn't have to count ounces and stress about him not having enough to eat. I ended up weaning at 8 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318458 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 20:16:20 +0000 MamaMoose 1318458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ten months was when I was really just miserable about it. I felt like I had been doing it SO long and still had two more months to go. Plus work was stressful and I was BARELY making enough milk to cover day care bottles even after adding an additional pumping session before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318448 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 20:10:44 +0000 Mrs. Pink 1318448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>day 1.... if we're being honest here... I stopped when I stopped getting enough to make it worth the hours it took though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318445 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 20:09:07 +0000 Anagram 1318445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mmm...about a month after LO was born when our BFing problems still weren't working themselves out and I was starting to pump more and more. Then when she was 3 months and got the MSPI diagnosis and I started eating dairy and soy free I was even MORE over it.</p> <p>I've said I was going to quit 1,000 times and yet here, I am...still doing it. LO will be 6 months this next week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318437 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 20:03:32 +0000 MrsStormy 1318437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My second day back at work :-( totally stress about getting enough for her while she is in childcare, constantly counting ounces is exhausting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318398 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 19:38:21 +0000 autumnlove 1318398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Corduroy: LO is EBF on weekends but she gets 4 bottles on my work days...I hope my supply can keep up if I stop pumping? I only have enough frozen milk to cover daycare bottles until she is 1...not feeding FT! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318383 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 19:29:11 +0000 yin 1318383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm over it and haven't really started. I only pumped enough to leave the house to attend a baby shower a few weeks ago. I pump maybe once a week, but I absolutely hate it. EPing for a year was a pain. I love breastfeeding too much to pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318364 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 19:14:13 +0000 Corduroy 1318364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: What a stash! I'm envious. I have almost no freezer stash. I forgot my pump at work last night and I think I sent the last of my stash to daycare today. I don't think I'll pump at work after a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318264 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 17:48:36 +0000 septca 1318264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first day back at work?? That was 8 months ago and I seriously cannot believe I made it this long (3 weeks to go!!!)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318207 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 17:26:42 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1318207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, everyday? I have to EP and I think about stopping all the time...7 months of it will do that to you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318195 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 17:20:52 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1318195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>7 months.... I had to EP because she went on a nursing strike (and never went back) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-were-you-over-pumping#post-1318191 Fri, 03 Jan 2014 17:18:35 +0000 autumnlove 1318191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I'm over it and I have enough milk in my deep freezer to last past her first bday. My baby is 8 months old but I'm afraid my body will go too long between nursing. Her last feeding is between 6-6:30 pm and I can't nurse her until 4 or 5pm the next day. </p>
