  Kellymom has a good section on EPing. But I agree with Theresa - don't do it unless you have to. It's a real pain. 

  
  

  If you're having BFing issues, try to find a lactation consultant who can help. Most hospitals with maternity wards have them and will see you as an outpatient. Mine billed insurance and I never even saw a bill, though everyone's insurance is different so I can't guarantee yours would cover the cost, but it's worth a try.

  I did with my first. And honestly, plan to do so with my little guy soon. I was almost forced to with DD. At 4 months, I was pumping in the mornings and at work, and nursing at night. She was getting very frustrated at the breast and would push me away - because my milk supply was lower at night and not fast enough for her. So, I stopped all together nursing at night and went to exclusively pumping. I did it until she was 1 year. 

  
  

  Not much changed, since I was already pumping during the day at work, I just pumped at night as well. First, I pumped when she ate and also again before I went to bed, after a while, I eliminated one of those pumping sessions and was able to maintain supply.
