I hadn't pumped in quite a while until today. I was away for work from 8-6 and although R didn't take any breastmilk during that time, I was pretty uncomfortable at 2, so pumped at work. I'm decreasing sessions slowly, but since he still nurses some during the day, I figured I better do it today. He's with grandparents next weekend and I will have to pump then, but after that plan to pack up the pump, since he'll be 1.
When's the last time you pumped?

Twice today at work! I hate pumping! But LO is 6 months so I'll be pumping for a little while longer

this afternoon. I need to get a few bags as DH and I are going away for a night next week. I hate pumping, I hardly get anything. I think I need a new valve or something.

Last spring. My kids were teething really bad which was leading to nipple trauma and clogged ducts. I hate pumping but was so desperate! My son was getting his molars last week and I woke up the day after Thanksgiving with the same problem, but we were away from home. I almost had to ask my sister to use her pump, but luckily my daughter was able to nurse the clog out!

At least 6 weeks ago. I still have 500 oz in the freezer and T is 9 mo so it was time to pump wean.

Earlier tonight! I pump before bed every night, just to add to my freezer stash and because I'm donating milk to my cousin who has low supply.

11am yesterday. I should have pumped at 9am and 12pm but I was laid out in bed sick and couldn't muster the energy until 11. DH brought LO home from daycare early so I just nursed her in the afternoon when I would have pumped.
Next one coming up in about 30 minutes!

Noon today. I pump 3 times at 9am, 12pm and before bed for my 4 month old. I only get about 6 ounces total for the day!

Pumping as I type. My LO is 4 months and I don't have much of a freezer stash. Low supply. Freezer stash gone as of today so I guess we start supplementing. Last LO I made it to six months before I had to supplement. For my oldest I pumped about 13 months and weaned at 16 months. I hate pumping. I've never gotten more than 12 oz in a day pumping three times at work and that was with LO 1 and a Medela Symphony. This time it's been 10 oz a day. I started out with a Hygeia Q and now I'm using a Spectra S2.
