2u2 e/p'ing mommas- How did you do it? I'm so nervous about how I'm going to find the time to pump, keep G occupied and keep the baby happy all at the same time. Any pointers?
I definitely found it tough when I needed to nurse DS # 2...it seemed like that was the time DS # 1 would need me or would start getting into things. I never had to pump with both of them, but one idea I tried was having a bag of toys that I only brought out when I needed to nurse. This way, it wasn't something he got to play with all the time and kept him a little occupied. GL!

Medela Freestyle! I don't know how I'd do it without it! Today DD2 was fussing and DD1 was whining, so I put them both on the couch with me and entertained them while I was pumping. I've spaced out my pumping now, but in the beginning, I just strapped on the pump while I was making lunch, feeding the baby, doing laundry, whatever. It really wasn't hard to fit in pumping sessions because I could pump whenever!
