I'm slowly breaking up with my pump!

I supplement with formula some already but I was pumping twice at work and once at home. Yesterday I dropped the morning pump and let LO feed on both sides. This makes me sad.

    I hear the whole "end of an era" thing making you sad. But, pumping sucks!! Seriously, I hate pumping. I give you credit for doing it twice at work for as long as you have!

    It's not an option anymore to even pump on my lunch at work, so now I have to make the 15 drive home pump for 20 minutes then the 15 min drive back and hope I'm not late.  It's wreaking hell on my supply.

    Pumping does suck!  In my old building, they had a nice "lounge" area that was very private, so it wasn't that big of a deal.  Now, I'm pumping in a storage closet and it's not nearly as convenient.  We'll see how long I stick it out for.  My goal was 1 year.

    I know how you feel. I usually pump 6-8 times a day, but the last few days, he's been so fussy in the mornings I've gotten fewer in. I'm so  worried it's going to cause a drop in my already low supply.

    I hear ya. I can't believe my baby is not 5 months old yet and my goal was 1 year of EBF! That seems a looong way away now.

    I love breastfeeding, but I hate pumping. Stupid pumping. I wish my office had a daycare so I could just pop down and feed her!!

    You could pump in your car instead of driving home!  I'm sure I'll have a meltdown when I stop pumping eventually, I feel your pain :(
