Moment of silence.
I took prescription migraine meds this morning. I didn't feel comfortable giving baby that milk, so I had to pump & dump for the first time in 9 months. Yuck - feels like such wasted effort!
I think it will be okay to nurse though when I get home because it will have been 12 hours.
Have you ever had to pump & dump?

I had to for a WEEK because of a medication I had to take. I tried to look on the bright side... I didn't have to worry about washing my pump parts all the time. Overnight was BRUTAL since we cosleep.

I am so sorry 
That SUCKS!
I've never had to pump and dump, but I did once have to pour 10 oz down the drain as it had been thawed for too long. Sad, sad day.

@mamimami: OMG, I can't imagine a week. The not washing pump parts was nice though!

That's terrible. I'm sorry.
I haven't had to yet but I'm only 6 weeks in. Dh wanted to toss a Bottle bc it had been in the fridge for 4 days and you would think he suggested throwing out the baby from my reaction.

Aw bummer! This is why I haven't had anything significant to drink so far. I don't want to ever have to dump milk!

Ugh that sucks!!! I have poured so much down the drain trying to get DD to drink from a bottle... I also recently had to pump and dump because my pump wasn't clean but I was engorged. 7 ounces
