i HATE pumping.
i only do it 2x a day 2-3 days/wk... and i STILL.DETEST.IT.EVERY.TIME.
i plan on quitting pumping when DS turns one in Nov.
less than 4 months... hUZZZZZZZZZZZAh.
anyone with me? 
-
Me! I (mostly) love bf-ing but pumping is truly annoying. Cannot wait to store the medela away forever! Or at least until baby #2.
-
YES! I am done now, at almost 11 months . . . 5 days a week was just too much and something had to give. I still nurse at night/early morning (or on demand on weekends), but I feel SO much more like me! I felt/sometimes still feel a little guilty (*shakesfist* damn you mom guilt!), but I know I made the right choice for me. I am excited for you!

My son is one in 2 months! I'm so close I can taste it!!!
@MsLipGloss: Are you giving formula? Or did you start whole milk early?
-
I'M DONE!!!
I think it's been a week and a half since my last pumping session!!
Woohooooo!!!! You can do it... it will feel SO GOOD when you are done!!!
-
2.5 months to go... maybe just 2 if I can keep my stash up!!
-
I'm 6 mo away from this but am down to 3 pumps a day!!! Cannot WAIT!

@mewtill: Formula. I have always struggled with supply (since I returned to work at 12 weeks pp), but as I gradually dropped pumping sessions, I increased the formula. Now that LO is also eating some solids/purees, she has pretty much topped out at 3 5-5.5oz bottles during the day (sometimes she finishes them all, and sometimes she doesn't).
-
ooh! my LO turns 1 on Thursday
and I'm down to one pump a day this week. I am not planning on pumping at all after Friday, and I'm SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
I can't even believe there will be a time when I don't have to do it. But I don't loathe pumping as much as others do. It is just an annoyance. The thing that really broke my soul down was having a kid who hated breastfeeding. Glad that's over! And I'll pump exclusively instead until she turns one
-
@LulaBee: AHHH SO EXCITED FOR YOU. the ONLY thing i'm looking fwd to around baby's first bday is quitting pumping.
-
Haha my LO is only 4 weeks and I can already tell that my pump will die in a bonfire when I'm through with it, and I will dance happily around it as it burns.
Too much?
and I'm down to one pump a day this week. I am not planning on pumping at all after Friday, and I'm SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
