Of the ladies who EP, how many times a day do you do it? And how do you occupy LO when you need to? I ask because I used to be able to EP 5-6 times a day, but lately I have only had the time for 4 times a day because of work, DH's schedule and LO's clinginess at night.

I pump one or two times a day to build up my freezer stash and I put Finn either in his jumperoo or swing. It usually only takes me about 8-10 minutes, so he is aplenty occupied. I'm sure ill get some slack for this, but if he's really fussy, ill put on a baby Einstein video or the baby channel on direct tv. He loves it and I only put it on if I need to do something, like witch laundry or pump or empty the dishwasher. I figure it's all educational, so a few minutes a day won't kill him!

I EP. I usually pump every four to five hours for 10-15mins. I have an over supply, so sometimes I can go longer and it never negatively effects my output. I usually just stick LO in her crib with some toys, so I know that she's safe and even if she gets fussy, she won't roll out of reach.
I typically try to wait until she is napping to pump, but she's awake for longer periods of time now.

I EP 3x a day for about 30 min. I also have an over supply and currently have over 300 6oz bags in the freezer. Plan on cutting back once I fill my last 50 bags here. Hope to be completely dry by mid Sept so DS will get roughly 8mo total of BM once we use up my stash.
