I hate pumping at work but hate pumping at home even more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-session-to-drop#post-2261150 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 16:22:09 +0000 Pumpkin Pie 2261150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drop the night session and get back some of YOUR time!! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-session-to-drop#post-2261073 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:48:29 +0000 Adira 2261073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Oh, if you nurse to sleep, for sure drop that night session! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-session-to-drop#post-2261051 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:40:08 +0000 regberadaisy 2261051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: @MrsLonghorn: you gals are ah-mazing!!!!</p> <p>@PurplePeony: yah, no concrete plans yet. But assuming my supply holds I'm going to slowly wean her off of BM while at daycare and continue to nurse when we're together.</p> <p>@Adira: I try to squeeze in a quick session before dinner then we nurse to sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-session-to-drop#post-2261039 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:34:11 +0000 psw27 2261039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hooray for dropping sessions! I just recently dropped 1 of my 2 work sessions, sweet freedom! But I am EP so its a bit different for me. I was pumping 6 am, 11 am, 4 pm, 9 pm. just dropped/combined my 11 and 4 to about 1 pm. Next week I think I will drop the 9 pm and try to shift my 1 pm to maybe 2 pm. Its exciting and nerve wracking at the same time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-session-to-drop#post-2261033 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:30:35 +0000 MrsLonghorn 2261033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I EP and do 7am, 2pm, 9pm, so my first reaction was to drop the work pump. But reading the comments and seeing that you nurse at night, I agree with @purplepeony. </p> <p>Enjoy it -- every dropped pumping session feels like a small celebration! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-session-to-drop#post-2261028 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:26:21 +0000 Adira 2261028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you nurse her in the evening at all, I'd drop the night session! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-session-to-drop#post-2261024 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:24:38 +0000 PurplePeony 2261024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd drop the night session first and then drop one day session in a few weeks.</p> <p>ETA: this is assuming you don't need much pumped milk anymore and are just planning ahead for pump weaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-session-to-drop#post-2261005 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:15:14 +0000 Alivoo01 2261005@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Depending on how full you get/are after you nurse her at home, I'd skip the before bed session to get more you time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-session-to-drop#post-2260995 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:09:13 +0000 regberadaisy 2260995@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: that's a good point. I guess I can slowly start shifting my before bed session earlier and hope for the best. 10a, 3p and 930/1000 are my only 3. I don't EP so I nurse her when we get home. There is literally no time to fit in a pump session before bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-session-to-drop#post-2260982 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:04:16 +0000 Mae 2260982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd probably drop one workday session and move the before bed session earlier. Do you pump in the morning as well? If you don't then I'd keep the 10am session and pump as soon as you can when you get home maybe? If you do then I'd do morning, lunch, and maybe just move the session up to a little earlier so you can go to bed earlier? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/which-session-to-drop#post-2260977 Tue, 11 Aug 2015 14:01:29 +0000 regberadaisy 2260977@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm being incredibly indecisive and need some outside input.</p> <p>I currently pump twice at work; at 10a and 3pm. Then I pump before bed around 930/1000. Which means I'm not usually in bed till 11p and up for the day by 5/530a.</p> <p>DD2 is turning 1 in two weeks and I'm planning on dropping one session initially. It's either drop a work session and change to pumping once during my lunch break. Or dropping the before bed session. I would love to be able to get more overnight sleep! But being able to get back 20-30 minutes during the work day would be nice too!</p> <p>Which session would you drop? </p>
