~Pumping Check-in~

BootsOrHearts · May 2014

Hey ladies! Happy Friday!

1. How's the pumping going this week?

2. Any challenges?

3. Do you plan to indulge in some adult beverages this long weekend? If so what will you do with your milk?

BootsOrHearts · May 2014

1. Same old same old. Makin' the milkz.

2. I said I'd quit or cut back at 6 months. Look at me not doing either one of those things.

3. I'm too short of milk to have more than one drink though I'd love to get smashed and then just pump and dump for a day.

1. How's the pumping going this week? Most of you already know how I feel... I'm just keepin' on keepin' on...
2. Any challenges? I'm tired. I'm worn out. I hate pumping. I want to burn the pump. But in it for the LO!!!!
3. Do you plan to indulge in some adult beverages this long weekend? If so what will you do with your milk? Heck yes... I'm drinking all the wine. What I do with my milk that I pump during the intoxicated hours is put it in the fridge (marked with an X)... With the clean milk I have.... I mix the clean milk with less than an ounce of the "contaminated" milk. I don't waste milk! LOL

I like that strategy!!!

I'm a lurker, but curious on your ratio of clean to contaminated milk? And by contaminated, how contaminated are you talking?

Usually 1 oz. of contaminated milk... 3-5 oz. of clean milk...Depending on the "contamination"... And by contaminated, I mean... not able to drive, but also not irresponsible.

Shoot! I had a bachelorette party the other weekend. Definitely was not okay to drive, but feeling the effects. I dumped 12 oz I wish I would have thought to dilute it that much ... Oh well I guess I know for this weekend.

Yea, I was at a wedding the other weekend and some of my friends I hadn't seen in a long time were pumping and dumping in the bathroom... and I was like WHOA WHOA WHOA Ladies! And told them my strategy... We had some very happy momma's after that! LOL

I bet you were a hero!

1. Pumping is going good this week. Supply is still the same and I'm getting more milk pumping till I get that second let down.
2. Challenge for me is still how long it takes to get it. And I can't take that much time at work to pump for 40 mins.
3. Yes! I'm ready for some wine and beers. I'll do as PP mentioned, cut the tainted milk with the good. I'll be tipsy but not wasted

1. How's the pumping going this week?
Pretty good. Although I'm super tired of doing it.

2. Any challenges?
We have weddings coming up, one of which is 8hrs away. I'm starting to contemplate weaning based soley on that I don't want to deal with pumping while there. I don't even have enough of a stash to even miss pumping sessions.

3. Do you plan to indulge in some adult beverages this long weekend? If so what will you do with your milk?
I was only going to have one, maybe two, but with this new strategy of mixing the contaminated milk....

KFiori1 · May 2014

I do the same as @cepayseur! Unless I am insanely crazy drunk, I mix the milk with good milk instead of dumping. I don't like to waste! With DD1 I didn't care about dumping at all, but my supply isn't as good this time.

ETA- I do plan to indulge

Hopefully tonight!

1. It's going pretty well. I dropped that pesky bedtime pump and the extra hour of sleep is heavenly and I feel like I get so much more done. Why? I don't really know but it's like a whole new freedom

2. I had a couple low output days. my hands free bra and I were not getting along a couple days and it kept causing the shields to pinch. So irritating.

3. I drink wine almost nightly. I plan on going out with a couple gf's for one of their bdays after LO is already in bed. Since I dropped that pump and he sttn I have not a thing to worry about.

This is what happened when I went from 8 pumps a day to 7. It doesn't seem like it would make that much difference but it was HUGE. Suddenly I had all this free time. Haha! I'm thinking about going to . . . wait for it. .. 6 a day. It will be like a damn vacation.

Better then last week, staffing is better at work so I could go back to my normal pumping schedule

2. Any challenges?

With pumping no but I have been a klutz this week and keep spilling milk

luckily I have plenty so it's not enough to make me stress but I still try to hoard every oz because I dried up at 7 months with ds1.

3. Do you plan to indulge in some adult beverages this long weekend? If so what will you do with your milk?

We have a family wedding on Saturday and a friend/coworker wedding Sunday so between the two I will definitely have a couple drinks. I can't over indulge because we will be out of state tonight with two kids in a hotel room and ds2 does not sleep through the night. I have always just mixed milk on the rare occasions I indulge.
