Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

Anyone out there still EPing?

I've been EPing since DD was 8 months. She weaned herself from BFing, but I didn't want to switch to formula so I just kept pumping. She's 13 months now and I still pump. We started her on cow's milk, so her bottles are half and half. Some family members think it's weird that I still pump, but I'm perfectly fine with it and I'm glad DH still gets the nutritional benefits of my milk.

  • I am still pumping, but only 2x per day so DS gets BM in the mornings and evenings and CM the rest of the day.  I really wish I had not let myself start to dry up.  I know I could relactate, but I figure what's the use at this point so I guess I will just keep up with what I am doing.

  • I think it's awesome! I was mentally, physically and emotional drained with the pumping after about 6 months. I say if you can do it, that's wonderful!

    I'm guessing this was a typo but it made me laugh :)

    LOL best typo ever!!!

     

    I EPed for 9 months and had enough frozen milk to get DD to a year (well, 1 week shy of her first birthday).  I don't think it's "weird" to keep going if it's something you're willing to do and it works with your schedule, etc.  I wish I could have done it longer but like pp said, I was SO mentally drained that it was becoming more detrimental to us than a pro. So do it while you can!  If you want to continue and they still nag you about it then ignore them!  It's not benefiting them any to be rude like that!  Don't stop because you feel pressured.  You may feel bitter towards them later if you do. Stop when you're ready to stop!
