    Oh I won't quit pumping - I'm going to give her every ounce of breastmilk I can. The pumped milk and formula is only going to be for daycare.

      I've pumped about 8oz so far today. On Friday I was pumping about 4-5oz, so it's definitely picked back up! Hopefully it keeps increasing! I'm also feeling a whole lot better today, finally.

        Isn't it annoying how mentally draining the whole damn thing is? I'm trying so hard to keep hydrated and ALSO carve out time to pump and oh yeah also do my job - I feel consumed!

          I couldn't keep up if I had any other kind of job. I do power pumps 3x/day at work most days, meaning I spend 3 hours connected to the pump. I sit in my office with the door closed at the computer and get my work done, so I can do it. It's a good thing my office is antisocial I guess.

            I know, if I wasn't able to pump almost 3 hours/day, there's no way I could keep up.

              Ok, now I at least a little bit better about my decision to stop pumping at work. I don't have a door or a mother's room, so I was pumping in the microfiche closet in the legislative library.

              Anyway, glad it's picking back up! And even if you do need to use a little formula, she'll be fine.

                Supplementing with Formula

                You will all burn in hell for supplementing.

                Your children will all have ADHD.

                If you are a democrat, they will grow up to be conservative Republicans. If you are a Republican, they will grow up to be bleeding heart liberals.

                Now get back in your closet and pump till your nipples fall off dairy cow!!!!

                    What can I say? I'm pumping and bored. In my closet. Like a dairy cow.

                      I remember being chained to my pump. I never hated it, but it was freeing when I was done w/the pump.

                        I'm hoping this is the last baby I have to pump for daily...
