? for moms who pump at work

markles88

If you pump at work...do you pump at the same times on your days off as you do at work and then bottle feed? Or do you just EBF your DC on your days off?

On my days off I EBF and pump in between feedings, however I am beginning to wean him this week due to supply issues that got worse after I went to work.

I don't use the pump at all when I'm at home with DD.  I hate that thing...I don't know how EPers do it.

I mix and match on the weekends.  Some days I'll EBF and then sometimes we'll be running errands and shopping and DS and I will get off schedule so I'll pump.  He eats 5x a day and I pump or breastfeed 4x a day.

I do a little pumping/bottle-feeding, but generally that's just if we're going somewhere that I prefer to bring a bottle or if I'm going to be separated from DD for a few hours. I look forward to the weekends because it's my time off from work and my time off from the pump. I give a lot of respect to exclusive pumpers because that is a lot of work.

On my days off (friday, plus weekend) I pump once early in the morning and EBF the remainder of the day.

The only reason I pump on my days off is to build up my freezer stash. Otherwise its all boob all the time.

I refust to pump at night or on th weekends.  3x a day 5 days a week is enough for me!  I just EBF when I am with DS.  He only gets bottles when I am at work.
