Did you struggle with this?
LO turned one on Friday (!!!!!) and I'm trying to navigate pump weaning while still nursing when we're together. I've been pump weaned for about 3 weeks now, using hand expression for a little relief when I feel full. I leaked all over the place the first week to 10 days while my body adjusted. I thought it was getting better, but today is not going well.
We were together for three days this past weekend, and so when LO asked, I nursed on demand. Of course, it now dawns on me that she wanted milk when she normally gets a bottle at daycare before her morning nap. This would all be fine, except my body now thinks that someone is hungry around 10:30 a.m., and my shirt is soaking wet from leaking. Awesome.
So, what do I do? Should I day wean her when we're together? She still nurses at night and first thing in the morning, so I'm assuming I'll still have milk then. It is hard to refuse her, especially when I don't want to wean completely. But I have class in an hour, and I'm covered in milk. I can't have that, either. Help!!
