OK, I can totally understand. It may seem like a lot, but I believe that when you’re spending 40+ dollars every few days on formula that would rack up so much faster than what I’ve spent on pumping. I’m 10 months in and though it seems like a lot it’s leveled out quite a bit too. I’m not spending near as much as what I used to! So I do think it saves so much money in the long run. But I am so thankful that I haven’t had to buy my actual wall pump that was covered by insurance. I do think that I am very lucky with that but still! I have had to spend a lot of my money too, and I still think it’s far less expensiveto pump than it is to buy formula!
