Also, I've been able to return to my regular diet!!!!!!!
She's been a PIA about taking bottles of BM though. Like, it's such a fight. She took so little milk the past few days that I called the Pedi. to ask when to be concerned. She said nonchalantly, "Oh, she's just self-weaning a bit early." I've been so irritated at the thought given I initially hoped to BF for years. And here I am EPing, have been on a special diet for months, and now my kid hates the one way I have to get milk into her at not even 10 mos. Shot to the heart.
I've just dropped to pumping 3x/day and it seems to be enough. Instead of pump more and stop earlier, I've chosen to pump the three times as it just makes it so much more convenient as I no longer have the dinner o'clock pumping session. Now that I can eat my regular diet of dairy and what not, I don't know when I'll stop.
I'm still here too! I just found out 2 weeks ago that I'm BFP, and my supply has really tanked. I still pump 3 times a day. I get almost 5 oz each time. Dr said I could still continue pumping. I will stop pumping this summer when I'm at 12 weeks. This is exhausting!
Re: EP check in
Still EPing.
