    I work 2 days/week so I pump for the couple of hours I'm gone and she is with my MIL. Other than that I BF. However, like you, I pump to keep my supply up. When I'm pumping, if it's just her and I, I put her in the exersaucer and she is pretty content there for the 10 minutes or so that I need.

    With my boys, while I pumped they either were in their swing, sleeping, or just chillin' out in their crib/bassinet. 

    I pumped to keep the supply up and whenever I had that "let down" feeling, which would happen when the babies weren't hungry too, I'd pump and store it in the fridge.  I would take the milk I pumped so DH could feed them when he'd get home from work, or when I'd have to go run errands and stuff. 

    I can't remember how many times a day I'd pump.  It was whenever my milk would "let down" and I the babies weren't hungry.  I pumped in the middle of the night too.  We had a pretty good supply going.   : )

    I only pump and I do it four times a day.  I usually put DS2 in the exersaucer or floor gym while I pump.  DS1 is old enough that he just plays and sometimes pretends like he's pumping too.  Smile

    I pumped because it was super important to me (and encouraged by my H) to have time away from the LO's - a night out with friends, a weekend away and also I have season tickets to the Eagles, so during football season I am away pretty much all day for home games

    With DS, it was easy - I would do it during naps or just put him in his bouncy and he would watch.  With DD, she had a monthlong stretch where she was sleeping until 8 and DS got up at 7:30.  So I would wake up at 7 and pump.  I created a huge stash just by doing that.
