YES. And I kind of paid for it in the long run because I stopped pumping very much (I was PT at work and very close to the office, so LO didn't get many bottles). Eventually, I could barely pump anything, which made it even more frustrating, and we lost the last of my milk stash when we moved. Which meant I've been attached to this kiddo like glue for the past several months. Now that he's almost weaned (just one feeding to drop now) I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, though.

@cvbee: Aww
I didn't know if DS would still take a bottle, but a few nights ago I got like... 8 hours of glorious sleep and though HALLELUJAH! My baby slept through the night! Nope. Saw a photo of DS holding up his own bottle, with DH in the wings taking the photo at 3 AM.

I think if he's hungry enough he will take it.

I worry that I don't have a stash for going back to work... but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.

I hate pumping. So much that I only have 9oz in the freezer. I have worked with those 3 bottles every time I have had to leave ds. I rented a hospital grade pump in hopes to pump more, but I have not.

I hate pumping. DD has been refusing teh botle for the last 3.5 weeks. At the 2 month visit, my pedi told me to stop forcing the issue and now I feel really relieved that my life is no longer ruled by the pump. On the downside, my baby is glued to my side! Hopefully when she gets old enough for solids that will change.

Not entirely- I love the relief of feeling empty and I love having milk in the fridge and freezer so I can work or get out of the house alone. I just make sure I do something fun while pumping so the time flies.

I hate pumping! Lately I only do it when I know I'll be going somewhere, no saved up stock!

i HATE pumping but leaving town for labor day weekend and need like 25 bottles worth of milk stored on top of what i'm feeding my LO - blahhhh after next weekend I never want to pump again (le sigh)
