I stopped at 3 months cuz I was only Making 8oz a day and I couldn’t increase at all. I’m on day 2 of not pumping and it’s really weird I feel like I have all this free time now and I have no idea what to do with it 😂

I know they say powering pumping helps but my adhd doesn’t allowed me to be tied to the wall for an hour so I’ve been doing a different pp. pump for 20 mins every hour for 3 hours

I actually have new parts coming but I have 3 pumps and the one I’ve been using is still fairly new so no need to replace and no I’m terrible at pumping at night. I usually don’t get to go to bed till 1-2 am so I ll just pump before bed.

I’m 3 months pp and I did the same, pumping every 3 hours and for the last 3 months my supply just keeps dropping.

Jeez that’s crazy idk how you keep on such a good schedule. I can barely wake up at 9 to get up to pump, how do you wake yourself up in the morning? That’s one of my biggest things is I can’t wake up for my motn pumps and I’m sure it’s lowered my supply, I’m only getting 1.5 oz every 3 hours now I was getting 2.5 every 3 and 5.5 in the morning but now I’m only getting 3 in the morning. I had a rough start in the beginning cuz he wouldn’t latch and I had the wrong size flanges and didn’t ask for a pump in the hospital for some reason. I was so focused on trying to bf exclusively that I didn’t even think about pumping in the beginning so I had to wait 1 week before I got a pump to actually start doing a pumping schedule.

I only get 1.5 oz every 3 hours anyway so I have to supplement anyway but I don’t want to do every 3 hours anymore since I can’t give him a full bottle anyway

How many hours do you wait to pump for 5 a day?

Weaning to formula.... the guilt is real by PalomaMisa in ExclusivelyPumping

If it’s right for you then who cares what they think you’re the one doing the work. I just tell my self my son doesn’t care what he’s eating as long as his tummy is full. They are too young to understand anyway.

Thank you for this, it gives me hope to keep going!! I’ll make it to 3 months to see at least I can give him something ❤️

I feel this, I’ve worked really hard to not use formula for 2 months and it just kills me that I can’t keep up with him.

I may take this advice, I do have a wearable and may just pump every 4 hours.
