Weekly EP Check In

Hi Everyone!

Congrats on yet another week of pumping!

I'm going to be passing the torch to Jessesgirl43 to take over the weekly check in.  In order to give her an update to date list I would just like to use this week as a roll call to find out who's EPing, for how long, and your LO's name (if you care to share).

 

I'm: GPeterson24, EPing for 11.5 months for Corin

  • I am a big, fat quitter at 8.5 months with Nolan. I was barely pumping enough for two bottles per day and decided that it wasn't worth the effort. He should be on freezer supply until 9 months and I have come to peace with it. I could tell my supply was really down the drain when I only had one day of discomfort weaning.

    Good luck, girls!

    You're not a big fat quitter!! You're AWESOME! When I told our first pedi (we've since changed pedi's because I didn't like her) that I was EP-ing she told me "Good luck, most of my patience don't make it past 2 months" So you've made it more than 4 times longer than "most" people do!

  • michdance:  Halle was an amazing bf'er from the start...but then I went back to work when she was 3 months old and she started getting bottles.  So I've been exclusively pumping since!  She will only nurse when she wakes up at night...little stinker!   She is now over 7 months old!  I would LOVE to pump for the full year, but definitely need lots of encouragement to keep going!
  • Jessesgirl43, EPing for Micah for 8.5 months. My supply is down as of about a week ago (not sure why - maybe because AF should be on the way). Luckily DS is eating more solids and drinking less milk, so I'm still making enough for him. Still pumping 4x per day. Definitely tired of pumping now, and can't seem to scrape together the motivation to power pump to increase supply. This weekly check-in is helping me continue on though. The plan right now is to continue pumping until into the new year, then take it day by day after that. I do see myself stopping before DS is a year because I have a freezer with 2500 ounces of frozen BM, which (if it is still good), will last for several months.

  • Im: Rach7883,  Eping for 7.5 months for Lydiah

     

    Edit: I am in the process of weaning due to drastic drop in supply, went from pumping 48-55oz a day to 18-25... Hoping to make freezer Supply last till her Birthday by splitting BM bottles for part of the day with Formula bottles. I am very sad and anxious about all of this though. Wish me luck. LC isnt sure whats the matter either.
