How old is your LO? Do you still pump at work? Do you just nurse in the morning and at night? That's what I want to do!

18 months and now she only nurses at night, middle of the night, and morning. When I first went back to work (LO was 3 months) I nursed her twice in the mornings before I left, twice after work and then whenever she woke up overnight.
I stopped pumping at work when LO was about a year old.

R is 16 weeks old. I pump while I eat breakfast at home and during lunch at work. I'm a teacher so I can only give up my lunch period - I need my prep period. I nurse twice a day during the week in the afternoon and evening. We've started supplementing with formula because I'm not pumping enough for LO.

@swedishfish: I'm a teacher, too, and pumping takes up most of my prep period, so I'm only left with my measly lunch time to get everything done. That's why I'd like to stop pumping.
@mrsjazz: Thanks for sharing. Did you pump when you went back to work?

I WOHM and I pump four times a day. I pump the side he didn't eat while I get ready, then I pump (roughly) at 9, 12:30, and 4. If I'm feeling extra motivated I pump on the drive home.

Almost 6 months old. I start working at 6am and she is still asleep. I only nurse after work and I pump 3-4 times a day.

@Katrocap: I have so much to do because my prep flies by! I'd like to stop pumping too.

@Katrocap: I did. I tried to pump 3x a day at work but most days it was 2 and I'd pump again at home. I was so happy when I stopped!

F is just over a year and this past week I officially stopped pumping at work. I also teach and was using my lunch, prep, & after school time to pump in the early days. When he was older and not eating as often I started pumping in the car to and from work. That saved me in the last few months!
Now he nurses when I get home, before bed, and in the night (no morning sessions, although usually he sneaks a 5am feeding in there).

LO is 3.5 months old. I pump in the morning and 2x at work. I nurse her in the mornings and evenings but it looks like I'm dropping the morning session because she isn't getting enough. I supplement because I can only pump half of what she needs. I'm hoping to pump until 6 months but I'm not terribly optimistic about that..

LO is 13.5 months, and still nurses in the morning and at night (although at night is just a comfort thing, not a feeding thing). I am in the process of weaning her completely now. I pumped at work until around 10 months (I gradually dropped pumping sessions starting at around 8 months until I was able to drop them completely and just nurse morning and night).

DS is 11 months and I just stopped pumping as of last week. I have enough of a freezer stash to carry me past 1 year. We still nurse in the morning and right when I get home.

DD is almost ten months old and I nurse in the morning and at night and pump 3x at work and once before I go to bed. Sometimes I pump once in the morning before I go to work too. It's a whole lot of pumping. I can't wait to be done with the pump and throw it at the wall.
