I have been exclusively pumping for DS and started gradually weaning a couple of days ago. It was a really hard decision for me because I want DS to get breast milk for as long as possible, but it is really hard to fit all of the pumps necessary in and I will be going back to work in two weeks. I am a teacher and I think it will be really hard to fit pump sessions in every day. I dropped a pump session a couple of days ago and was planning on gradually weaning until I go back to work.
Well, I got back from a doctor's appointment today to find that one of my pump parts is missing. I suspect the dog is involved. It is the one part that I don't have extras of and it will have to be ordered from the Lansinoh site which will take a couple of days. I'm sure my supply will be greatly diminished or gone by the time it comes in, so I am just going to wean now. I'm really sad because I wanted to have a couple more weeks of milk for DS and I didn't want to stop pumping this way without it being my decision.
Thanks for letting me vent.
