So...although I feel more like a failure than I thought I would..I'm am strongly considering stopping pumping. I am trying to figure out if there is any chance I will be able to continue nursing K. Here is the background:
-EBF since birth, no issues
-First week at work (last week) I got 6 oz in the AM before work (and before K woke) then I got a total of 8oz from my two sessions at work.
-Schedule: 5am (pump), 6:30 K nurses about 30 mins total, 11am (pump), 3pm (pump), 5:30/6pm K nurses 30 mins, 8pm K nurses.
-Already, one week in, my morning pump is down .5oz and my first work pump today was down .5oz. I am going to weigh K tonight and see if her weight is up any.
-I cant add a session at work.
-I could add a session at 10pm if anyone thinks that would help!
I'd always said I'd pump so long as it worked no problem but now that my supply is already dropping I feel I am fighting a losing battle. I'd love to still nurse her first thing in the morning and right before bed - I'm wondering how long this could go on for?
Any input would be awesome!
