Weaning from the pump

After 9 months of EPing I have decided to finally wean from the pump. EEEEEE! I have been daydreaming all day about what I can do with this extra two and a half hours of my day not hooked up to the milkerator. My supply is half of what it used to be (14 oz all freaking day) and I'm so over it. I'm so excited I want to scream from the mountaintops but there are no mountains nearby and that probably wouldn't be received well by onlookers.

  • Glad your happy with your decision!  I finally gave up pumping and nursing both about 3 weeks ago, and while I am sad that my supply was pathetic and I wasn't getting a whole lot anyway, it's fantastic to just go and not worry about stopping to pu

  • I started to wean a few weeks ago and my body is not cooperating. I'm engorged by the time I pump, so annoying! I am down to 4 pumps a day and I don't even know how ill cut down to 3, my boobs will explode.
