Sick of pumping...
~Lynchie~

I only have 4 months left, but I am totally over pumping.. especially now that I work from home and the baby is right downstairs. I should just go feed him on my breaks but it seems as if Dh has horrible timing with the bottle and always gives him one right before my break times. I have tried everything from Fenugreek to Reglan with no success in upping my supply, so all i get in the 30 min i spend pumping is 3 oz... it just seems like such a waste of my time =/ ugh.

Re: Sick of pumping...
I've had it too. My prescription for my rental hospital pump expires on Oct 26th and I guess I'll just stop pumping at that point and let J get what he gets, and that's that. I'm a little worried since the reason I pump is that he doesn't manage to empty me out and if I stop pumping then my supply will go down.. I guess it'll just mean the beginning of weaning. Hopefully I'll make it to six months. As it is, I pump after every feeding that I am able to (2-3x/day) and get between .5 and 2 oz per session. It hardly feels worth it but I guess since he's not getting a lot of breast milk, every drop counts!
Anyway, I totally feel ya. I hate sitting there hooked up, squeezin my bewbs for every last drop, watching the clock, trying to turn pages of my book with the bottles.

Give yourself a lot of credit for doing it this long, I admire you and think you are doing a great job. It's very selfless and commited to keep pumping as long as you have. I admire anyone who can do it this long.
You are so close! Keep it up and complain all you want here.
This!
