Forevah!
Freeeedommmm!
I decided to drop my last pumping session at work last week. When I first came back to work, I pumped 3 times per day. After a few months, I took it down to twice a day. Since the end of March I had taken it down to once a day. Finally, I just got tired of it and decided to drop it completely. I was only getting between 5-7 ounces total (when I first started I would get 12 easily). So I didn't pump at all last week. After a couple of days, my body adjusted so I'm not engorged or uncomfortable by the end of the day. I don't pump at all now, ever. I still nurse in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the day on the weekend.
I lasted 9 months, 7 of those pumping at work. *Pats self on back*
Bye-bye, Medela!

Good Job, Sista !!!
Do it again!
Me too. I am going to start a coutdown calendar.
I am so jealous of no more pumping. Great job for going this long. You have washed your last pump part enjoy the freedom.
Oh, it also didn't help that my dog chewed up like three pairs of pump parts and I was down to my last one, which made it that much more annoying because I had to wash the parts right after each use. Lol. FWP?
I think besides the actual pumping, the having to clean parts every single time was just as annoying. I hate cleaning pump parts!!!
